English negative iffects off technology

First of all I would like to thank The Almighty for His never-ending blessings so we
can conduct another flag ceremony today. Good morning to the honored Head
Master, fellow teachers, school administration staffs, and my students. Today, August
10th 2018 marks the National Technology Revival Day. Therefore my speech today
will contains some information which related to technology. Technology becomes the
most eminent factor in today’s world. People cannot be separated from technology
because it makes the people’s lives easier. Let us take a look for the example at the
smallest range which is our school. We cannot deny that technology is very useful for
education. School is well equipped with technological tools such as computers,
internet, telephone, and any other technological devices. The internet availability in
school helps the students to obtain unlimited lessons or information in just one-click.

Technology helps the students to communicate with more people even with those
who live outside Indonesia. This will assist the student to make a networking which
will be beneficial for their future careers. Technology increases the student
engagement and motivation in learning process, teachers use technological devices
such as in-focus screen in the classroom to make the learning process becomes less
boring. As I have mentioned before, technology gives the student access to the most
current information which available online. They can access or download e-books or
journal in the website so the lesson will be more attractive and varied. BUT, there are
some buts. Not all of the impacts caused by technology are positive, technology could
be very dangerous if you cannot manage it. Moreover nowadays students are
equipped with a mobile phone. Is there anyone of you who does not have any mobile
phone? No, right? See every student has it. Mobile phone is very personal so
sometimes it is quite hard for the parents to supervise the children. Instead of
waiting for the adults to supervise you, I want to warn you because I am sure you are
mature enough to see what is right or wrong for you.

Dear my students,

The technological developments offer you many applications to download which are
compatible with your mobile phone. Let us say, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Path, and so on and so forth, they are all available
for you. However do you know that those kekinian or updated applications will ruin
your life if you could not manage them well? The simplicity of getting everything
served through one click is actually dangerous. Many malicious contents are
spreading through internet such as porn, gamble, bullying, illegal transaction, and
even terrorism. Those things are obviously do not appropriate with high school
students like you. Without further guidance, students or underage kids can access
porn sites, video or picture through YouTube. That will be a factor which leads the
teenagers into free sex or teenager promiscuity. Twitter and Facebook are social
media platforms to communicate with people around the globe but these social media
can give negative impacts such as cyber bullying and even abduction. The students
are mentally labile, they tend to express what they want to say in the Facebook
profile or Tweet their opinions boldly. Students like you might think that you are free
to express yourself in your social media profile without considering the side effect,
your tweets might indirectly leads into cyber bullying or it probably less favorable for
some people. Regarding to abduction, there are so many cases happened even here
in Indonesia. The teenager meets a new acquaintance in Facebook then they agreed
to meet each other somewhere, the worst case can be leads into rape, theft, and
abduction. The last example is Instagram, Instagram is an application to share your
daily life through pictures. Not all of you are coming from high class family, students
like you see your friend’s post on Instagram and you feel envy about it. The worst
case is theft, someone are stealing to buy luxurious item like what is shown on his
friend’s Instagram picture. I hope that my students will use the technology wisely.
Moreover I encourage you to use the technology to maximize your potential. That’s
all from me, Thank you very much.
