“Hacker”
Here I am again giving my reflection, but this time it is different from
before because this is one of my favorite; documentaries. When I opened the link,
I got surprised because, as mentioned earlier, documentaries are one of my
favorites, whether it is video or just reading text. Aside from that, the topic that
has been documented is very timely under our continuously diverting world. Last
year some of my friends experienced this kind of problem, their accounts on
Facebook have been hacked, luckily we have a relative who is a computer expert
and immediately recovered it. I focused on watching this documentary until the
end, because I know I will get some learning that will help me when it comes to
the cyber world and other stuff.
What is the reason I did this activity? If you will just read the question, you
will probably say that it is easy to answer, right? But if you will give me time to
think, this is not only about I am tasked to do this, but it is more on I am willing
and passionate to have a deeper understanding of this topic. From the
documentary, I have learned that even for the smallest and little information that
we are going to attach, there will be someone who can access it. Be responsible
enough. One click can make a big change. We can't tell when black hackers will
attack us. This documentary taught me to keep my personal information within
me. In times of privacy, you can't trust anyone but only yourself. Let us all be
computer and media literate in a good way. Be an ethnic hacker but not the black
one.
Moreover, this kind of information is very useful, especially for us
teenagers. Why? Because as we all know, most teenagers spend their leisure time

on any social media platform. Because of not being liberated in social media,
some of us don't know how to keep our accounts more secure from the pirates.
Also, this will be useful for us to be fully aware of the cyber world. Not all we see
in social media is reliable and trustworthy. Think before we click, especially for
some websites or links, because this might contain a virus that can hack all your
private information. Let us start being media literate and be responsible for using
any kind of media.
I believe that every lesson that we are learning every day, can bring a
big help to our future life. In our modern world with advancements in technology,
I know my learnings here will help a lot. As a BA COMM student that will be a
newscaster soon, this will help me to evaluate and screen out things easily. I will
be more aware that our world has its dark side. Not all we see on the internet will
show light and hope, and sometimes we are not aware that the one we are
talking to is the hacker. This learning will get me along to know different kinds of
personalities and capabilities in cyberspace. Always be responsible and keep
within me what is mine.
