[FILIPINOS ADDICTED TO DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES]

Setting: Five students in a corner of the classroom will supposed to talk about their report and have plan
on it.

MARIA: “Hey, what’s our plan for our group presentation that’s due next week?”

“Do you guys have any idea?”

FRANCE: “Maybe later, I’ll share mine”

CLAIRE: “Same thing! Maybe I’ll do it later”

SAMUEL: “Oh what is it all about? Maybe I can do it after this event in Mobile Legends”

MARIA: “Why, what are you going to do?”

CLAIRE: “I have to leave earlier as I have keep on the new updates of the latest IPhone

12. I’ll go to SM Naga to check it”

FRANCE: “I’m busy doing videos and vlogs in social media, this is a required contest in our town”

“Or you can just give us task to do so”

MARIA: “Okay then, I’ll give you time to finished those. Just do your part”

CLAIRE: “Just message the task that will be assigned on me then I promise to do it when I got home”

JORGE: “Since that it is still due next week, we can still have a firm plan about it”

“I have other priorities outside so it’s better to take this home”

“I have to drive the new car that was granted for me. I have to attend the driving lesson”

[After a couple of days]

MARIA: “How’s your task, I need to check and compile it”

“We badly need to submit it, the due is fast approaching”

SAMUEL: “That’s the problem Maria, we all forgot to do it”

JORGE: “We’re very sorry”

MARIA: “How could you not be finished your task yet? I thought you estimated you spent at least time
on it last week. I trusted you guys, I know we have other priorities to do but I hope you give and

spend time for this”

 “We can still have time for that stuff, I’ve noticed that you all are being addicted to different

technologies and its quiet discouraging. We must always know our priorities. Spending too

much time using technologies can negatively impact our psychological, social, and physical

health especially when it is digital. I hope this will serve as a lesson for every one of us. Look

what happened now. Let’s have a quick action for this problem”

In the scenario above, Filipinos showed too much

practice in technology or given addicted to it. In result, they forget to prioritize things

beyond. As a great lesson, we, human should have a wise time in doing stuff

especially if it’s between you and the technology.
