5. Evaluate the consequences of indiscriminating use of the benefits of technology from

the viewpoints of a JHS student.
 When students are using technology as a tool or a support for communicating

the use of the benefits of technology will lead to loss and late development of a
community and an individual that supposed to handle the good opportunity that
technology given to us.
