In our fast-paced digital era, proficiency in media, information, and technology plays a vital role in our daily lives. While these three areas share common ground in their relationship with technology, they each bring distinct skills and perspectives to the table.

Firstly, all three concepts revolve around the utilization and understanding of technology. Whether we're scrolling through social media, managing spreadsheets, or troubleshooting computer issues, technology is at the core of our interactions. Secondly, they emphasize critical thinking and decision-making skills. In a world inundated with information and media content, being able to evaluate sources, discern fact from fiction, and make informed choices is essential. Lastly, these skills are applicable across various aspects of life, from education and work to personal communication and entertainment. Regardless of the context, proficiency in media, information, and technology empowers individuals to navigate the digital landscape effectively.

Media literacy focuses on understanding and analyzing media messages across different platforms. It involves recognizing bias, identifying persuasive techniques, and critically evaluating the credibility of sources. In essence, media literacy equips individuals with the tools to navigate the complex world of digital media responsibly.

Information technology, on the other hand, is more concerned with the practical application of technology to manage data and facilitate communication. From organizing databases to troubleshooting network issues, information technology professionals play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of digital systems within organizations. Proficiency in this area involves technical skills such as programming, network administration, and database management.

Lastly, technology literacy encompasses a broader understanding of how technology works and its societal implications. It involves knowledge of basic computer operations, internet safety practices, and an awareness of emerging technologies. Technology literacy equips individuals with the foundational skills needed to adapt to new technologies and make informed decisions about their use.

In conclusion, while media, information, and technology share commonalities in their reliance on technology and critical thinking skills, they each offer unique perspectives and competencies. Media literacy focuses on understanding and analyzing media content, information technology emphasizes the practical application of technology in managing data and communication, and technology literacy provides a broader understanding of technology's role in society. Together, these areas form the cornerstone of digital literacy, empowering individuals to navigate the complexities of the digital world with confidence and competence.

Nowadays, we Filipinos are chained and addicted to social media platforms and some of us just spend our day scrolling through every platform. Well, media is a significant source when it comes to trends and current issues, but it is also a source of misinformation and mal-informations that people spread throughout every platform. This cartoon explains how some politicians take this to their advantage. They know many people nationwide will reach their so-called "programs" or "platforms" to persuade Filipinos and show us their "good deeds". Social media is broad and modern and many people are using it as their main source of information and does not take their time validating their sources. Let us learn how to research properly so that we won't be victims to their fake and insincere doings.

Grave of the Fireflies is a 1988 animated war drama film set in Japan during World War II. It follows two siblings, Seita and Setsuko, who are orphaned after an American firebombing.

The film depicts their struggle to survive on their own, facing hunger, illness, and the devastation of war. It's a powerful story about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of immense hardship.

Grave of the Fireflies is one of my favorite movies because it shows how the Japanese lived during the world war II. It also showed love for family, since Seita and Setsuko's parents were gone, they only had each other's company. Seita took care of her little and vulnerable sister. They survived the war for a long time before something tragic happened. It wasn't a happy ending for both of them especially, Seita, because Setsuko died of disease and hunger. This movie made me really emotional especially since it was partially based on a true story. I cannot imagine how hard their life was having no parents and no permanent home during a deadly war.
