Social media is one of the most magnificent and powerful platforms that have been invented to provide such information in a fast-paced environment where the advancement of technology is present. In this modern era, social media is indeed part of our daily lives, for instance, in the morning, when we wake up, we always start our day using different social media platforms before doing something productive. Furthermore, these invented social networking sites can influence everyone without you noticing it, as they contribute to giving us information and entertainment; hence, social media has also the potential to shape our lives.

It is important to note that social media can both have positive and negative effects on an individual and thus being nimble-minded on how to utilize each platform must be put into consideration. Like, sharing, commenting, researching, transmitting, and receiving information are merely a few of those that we can do in the Internet world, and without being responsible for using social media you can put yourself in jeopardy or even someone in just one click. One of the rampant issues on social media that is connected to irresponsible use of the platforms and really affects students or the youth is cyberbullying. This issue can be more severe if the victim were being humiliated and destroyed his/her name by posting pictures, videos, and any other information that has to be private. Given the aforementioned examples, I can glean that being nimble-minded in the world of social media can be a great help to an individual, as it can make us safe and secure in a realm full of pretentious people.

In general, social media has a tremendous role in one’s life but the fact that it has negative effects when it is not utilized accordingly, we, people, must always bear in mind that with just one click it could change everything. Therefore, having that in mind, in every action that we take in any occurrence we can reflect first before doing something especially, if we have hesitation in doing things. Succinctly, every action that we choose to happen reflects every bit of who we are, and thus thinking before clicking is like an aid to the nefarious world of the internet.

Internet: The Boon and the Bane of the Information Age

# data[].attributes.body
The information age is a concept that people can use to easily communicate and find out about current events and problems.  Easy communication allows us to talk to other people more easily, which is considered a benefit or advantage of the information age. We can speak with each other more easily thanks to new technologies developed by our experts. With the help of different technology, such as cellphones or other mobile devices, we can communicate with people anywhere, even abroad, very easily. Another advantage of the information age is the ability to learn about advanced topics, which makes advanced learning one of its positive effects. When someone is an advanced learner, they are more knowledgeable than others in a variety of fields, that is an example of advanced learning. High data processing speed is one of the advantages of the information age. With computers and technology, we can find data quickly. In today's time, when everyone is using technology, we need fast data so we can do it easily. During the information age, we can easily get information because all the information we need is on the internet and in modern technologies. The information that is happening in our places or countries is something we can easily see in our time because of our modern age.

Therefore, addiction is one of the main disadvantages for people when it comes to social media. Too much use of technology may affect our well-being or how we behave. We became more irritable, distancing ourselves from the real world or family relationships because we isolated ourselves in a place where it’s not healthy anymore. Overuse of social media nowadays is not new, but it is better if we control it and know our limitations when it comes to social media. One of the disadvantages of the information age is cybercrime, which is a crime online where there is private information that is spread by a person online, such as pornographic photos of people or identity theft. Most people today, especially young people, rely only on technology because even young people today have used mobile devices. This is a disadvantage of the information age because young people forget to read and search for information in books or libraries.

To conclude, everyone is focused on technology and online activities, so many people are overusing it. Many of them are already giving important information about their lives on different online platforms. This is a disadvantage of the information age; many people are harmed because of their personal information that is spread online.

# data[].attributes.body
Literacy with regard to media, information, and technology is becoming more and more important. It is critical to fully comprehend the opportunities, threats, and problems that come with this technological transition as our society moves toward a more digital and connected world.

Opportunities
The advancement of technology has created a wide range of opportunities in every aspect of our lives. Thanks to technology, we can communicate in real time with people all over the world, have access to a variety of information, and personalize our experiences to suit our needs. Social media platforms offer users a platform to communicate with others outside of their immediate social circle and share their content. As more people become digitally connected, businesses may expand and reach a larger audience. Technology has also altered the educational system by enabling remote learning opportunities, online courses, and digital libraries, which allow those who would not otherwise be able to attend school to do so.

Threats
Technology's advancement has also brought with it a number of dangers that must be taken seriously. The pervasive problem of privacy concerns comes first and trust must be upheld at all times, but there is continuing worry about data breaches and hackers. Additionally, the  concept of reality has also become more complex as fake news, propaganda, and misinformation have grown in popularity and there can be a severe social and political repercussions when misleading information is disseminated. Last but not least, the digital gap is a serious problem because not everyone has access to technology and the internet equally. Inequality is sustained by the digital divide's potential to lead to structural and economic exclusion.

Challenges
One of the significant challenges of media, information, and technology literacy is that it is ever-changing. As new technologies and platforms emerge, the skills and knowledge is required so that you can effectively relearned and be updated continually. This also creates a knowledge gap between generations and marginalized groups, where there is a risk of people falling behind as technological change outpaces their ability to catch up. Additionally, there is a growing concern around the psychological impact of the excessive use of technology and many people spend a significant amount of time online, leading to social isolation, addiction, and mental health problems.

To conclude it all, individuals, society, media, information, and technology literacy present a wealth of potential, but they also pose risks and difficulties where understanding these difficulties can guide us in making judgments and navigating the constantly evolving technological environment. In order to keep up with the ever-changing trends in a way that empower us rather than constrain us, every individual should put attention toward enhancing our digital literacy skills. In order to ensure that everyone has equal access to the opportunities offered by technology, society as a whole needs to solve the digital divide that will able to fully utilize technology for social advancement.

The Internet is a media that contains tools and engines that can be used by people, and businessmen, for communication, artificial intelligence, and social issues.  It is imperative to our lives because the internet helps us in different ways, to communicate, and share information and ideas. But prior to your knowledge, the internet also has a detrimental side. People tend to use it in a malicious and inappropriate way like cybercrime, sexual predators, pornography and even damaging reputations.

Cybercrime has grown exponentially on the internet and now seriously threatens people, companies, and even entire nations. Financial losses and security breaches are frequently caused by malware, phishing scams, identity theft, and hacking. These attacks not only compromise people's financial security and right to privacy, but they also have the power to shake the world economy and reveal highly confidential data. Sexual Predators are the ones who talk to the person in a sexual way. Sexual predators are looking for sex. Pornography is sexual activity depicted in written, graphic, or any other form whether on the internet, in CDs or in movies that have no aesthetic. There are so many bad effects of pornography people can feel addiction, negative feelings about themselves, increased crime, etc.  All of that is damaging reputations as a people. Their privacy is leaked on some issues such as cybercrime, sexual predators, and pornography. Even though their private information should only be theirs, it can be shown in public. In addition, the Internet is a danger because of the people who use it in a bad way. It depends on us or people how we use it, whether it’s good or bad.

To conclude, there is no doubt that the internet has improved the world, it is important to recognize and confront the risks it poses. Cybercrime, sexual predators, pornography and damaging reputations are just some of the dangers present in this huge digital environment. When James Veitch said “The Internet gave us access to everything; but it also gave everything to access us”  It is like invading our privacy. That’s why the internet is a danger.

Media plays a big role in making our lives easier and better. It is an outlet or tool used to deliver information or data. Its responsibility is to acquire information about what is going on in our world. Media is a big help to us because it lessens our boredom and at the same time, it gives us knowledge, news, ideas and a tool to communicate with our friends, family, and other people. The world is transforming, and so is the media.

Old media is discovered from Pre-Industrial Age up to Electronic Age. In old media there is a Pre-Industrial Age (before 1700s) where the use and sharing of information began. Their equipment or format to share or broadcast information are Traditional paper and Writing materials, Cave paintings, Stone tablets. After that in the Industrial Age (1700s- 1930), their equipment were Printing presses or Books, Newspapers and Magazines. Last in the Old media is the Electronic Age (1930s-1980s), their equipment are Computers, Radio, Personal computers and also Printing presses or Books. Traditional media are broadcast based, meaning that the messages are sent in one direction or in a one-way communication. However, the media is transforming. New media doesn’t necessarily refer to a specific mode of communication. Some types, such as an online newspaper, are also “old media” in the form of a traditional printed newspaper. Others are entirely new, such as a podcast or smartphone app. It becomes even more complicated to define when you consider that as technology continues to advance, the definition continually changes. New media is any media — from newspaper articles and blogs to music and podcasts — that are delivered digitally. From a website or email to mobile phones and streaming apps, any internet-related form of communication falls under its umbrella.

In conclusion, as time goes on, new technologies will be developed to help us speed up the process of what we do, such as our communication with other people. The conversion of Old material to New media makes it quite helpful for society.
