landscape of the society. In the Philippines, the development of social media changed how Filipinos behave politically. The netizen can easily express their opinion on political issues in their social media accounts. It is also being used for advocacy campaigns and propaganda. Also, social media is now a platform for political campaigns, mudslinging and shaming.
Do you think social media, as a technology, is a boon or a
bane to societal development? Why?
I think this is also a blessing in our society because of
the technologies that make things easier such as factories, because of the modern technology it can send messages properly even if the recipient is far away, also as a student, it helps because it is more it makes my projects and assignments faster and easier. Today's youth are addicted to modern technologies such as social media. Many believe that technology has a bad effect on our society, but there are also many who are in favor of the development of technology because it brings good results to the lives of Filipinos. These views are correct, but we need to study carefully whether technology actually helps or causes bad effects. The good side effect of this is that we get a lot of valuable information. Students are also given enough skills to expand their knowledge not only in studies but also in society. It can also be a threat to us especially to all the young people who are addicted to technology, to the parents of these children it can be a threat to them to appreciate and guide them in the correct use of technology. It can also be a threat to our societal development because it can affect development due to the excessive use of its people, so appreciate and protect our country and reduce the use of technology so that we can focus more on our environment and the development of our societal. In addition to this, when we build buildings and malls, we think that our country/world is getting better because of it, but we don't know that every time we cut down trees to build buildings, our trees are slowly dying and being destroyed. nature. Let's not be dazzled/entertained by modern technology, there are many things to consider before we use it.
