1. As a generation of digital narratives, ICT is a tool that has become significant for us especially in this age and time of technology. Taking this into consideration, removing ICT will not make us more competitive in this era. The digital era that we are living in right now revolves around ICT since it is essential for the advancement and progression of our society.

2. I often use applications like TikTok, Instagram, and Netflix on my mobile phone and Youtube, Google Classroom, and Discord on my Laptop. Although our current situation has made me more dependent on the web, these applications have helped me in many ways in this pandemic. I could communicate with my friends more frequently and effectively, I entertain myself by watching videos, TV shows, and anime shows, I get to explore more about certain things since I now spend more time than usual on the web, and of course, attend classes this school year without worrying for the risk of getting COVID-19.

1. As part of the generation of digital natives if we remove ICT as part of our assets I still do believe that we can be competitive. We as humans also have skills or talents in other aspects which  we can improve or focus on.

2. The various applications I use on my gadgets are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, etc. This applications provide me convenience in terms of communication. They also provide me satisfaction through entertainment.

1. If we remove ICT as one of our helping resources I think it can lose our competitiveness because we just lost an important tools that can help us, but we can still improve each one of our skills in other to survive in the generation of digital natives.

2. The applications that I use everyday on a daily basis on my gadgets are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok. These applications gives me communication with people while it also gives me entertainment.

1. As a generation of digital natives, removing ICT as one of our resources or tools will lessen our competitiveness because we are raised in an environment that utilizes digital technologies in most aspects of our lives. Hence, we have used ICT to learn intuitively and efficiently use its advantages in diversely achieving our purposes. However, the competitiveness is only lessened (depending on how much a digital native relies on ICT) but not entirely gone because we are human beings with natural abilities.

2. I often use Facebook on both mobile phone and computer and Instagram and Twitter on mobile phone alone. With its easy access and convenience, the community, along with myself, is able to relay and receive messages across the world at any time possible. However, due to so much accessibility, people may abuse these applications and that in return impacts an individual and a community greatly.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Removing ICT seems to be an unnecessary step to follow since our resources or tools should be improving, not deteriorating. However, we can still be competitive without ICT if the standards of the world in the present were greatly lesser than it is. This means that our way of living will seem to be primitive without ICT.

2. I mostly use social media apps such as Discord and Facebook Messenger to communicate with friends and family. These apps allow me to access the features of modern technology. With proper control over the possession of these devices, it will be beneficial for us to use the aspects of ICT.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A good way to think about ICT is to recognize all the digital technology applications that exist to help people, companies and organizations use information. ICT covers any product which electronically stores, retrieves, manipulates, transmits or receives information in a digital form. Personal computers, digital television, email, robots, for example.
2. Native apps have the benefit of being quicker and more accurate in terms of results due to their single emphasis. In general, with the resources of the computer, they are more powerful than other forms of mobile apps.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In my opinion, we can still be competitive if we remove ICT as one of our resources or tools. However, as digital natives, we cannot be competitive without the use of technology because in our generation we rely more on ICT to make our experience easier. ICT also promotes faster and easier methods of communication that gives an advantage to digital natives to be more competitive.

2.There are a lot of applications or softwares that I am using. I often use facebook messenger for my contacts and the g suite applications like gmail, google classroom, and google meet for educational purposes. This affects the community as it makes interaction and communication easier by creating channels which can be accessed  by everyone with an internet connection.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As a part of the generation of digital natives, I think that if we remove ICT as one of our resources or tools, our competitiveness will decrease because we basically use technology in almost every part of our lives. Ever since Technology was discovered, we have found ways in order to improve it over time. We would still be using traditional methods of communication, information, and entertainment. It is possible yet difficult for us to adjust and be competitive without the use of technology.
2. The different applications I use on my gadgets are Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and Netflix. Facebook allows me and the community to keep in touch with my friends and family. Instagram also has the same features except it is more on photos and videos. Netflix and Youtube provide me quality videos that I can watch during my free time. But with viewing news uploaded on social media, we must be careful of its source in order to determine whether the news is real or not.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Base on my opinion if we Remove ICT as one of our resources and tools we cannot compete competitively because we are gonna lack on digital technology because that is the source on how we are upgrading on technological things and as a digital native I will not agree that ICT will be removed because for us it means a big thing.

2. I use Social Media and I also play games and these applications are the ways that I can communicate thru people and my friends, Without these applications I cannot communicate with my friends easily because these are the only ways that I can communicate especially if I dont have apps like this.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As a generation of digital natives, I think removing ICT as one of our resources and tools will make us less competitive because our daily life and activities are mostly dependent on the utilization of the three aspects of ICT which are the information, communication, and technology as it makes our life more convenient. With easier work, we become more competitive in all aspects because we knew that ICT has many features that is capable of going beyond on what we currently have. Also, during this digital era, ICT provides us with resources and tools that is necessary to attain progress in a faster way.

2. The applications that I use in my mobile phone and computer are Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and the different Google applications. I must say that all of those applications affected me and the community in a good way because it serves as a platform that enables us to have a faster way of communication with our friends and families, especially those who are living from afar. It also became a way for us to utilized freedom as we participate in various online activities that encourages the involvement of the people as we speak up for ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One must be equipped with sufficient resources and skills to survive in a competitive setup. Our world has made major developments with the use of technology, and so I think that removing ICT as one of our tools will affect our competitiveness—all the more that we grew up in a generation of digital natives. We may not lose it entirely but it will surely take a toll on our individual progress. In order to stay competitive in one area, one must utilize all resources in that field to catch up with the advancements and make the work easier. But if one desires to live outside the competitive world, or should I say the digital world, that person can be competitive in their on way. I think that it really depends on the environment we are living in.

2. I mostly use social media applications such as Messenger, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube, and Discord to communicate with my friends and family, acquire information, and entertain myself. I also use Google suite applications because of online classes. It affects me and my community positively for we are able to exchange information and updates immediately. It had become a platform of self-expression. The use of these applications, however, may negatively influence us when handled abusively like spreading fake news and hate comments.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As we live in the generation of ubiquitous technology or digital age, removing information communication technology would lessen our competitiveness and it could be a great loss for us, considering technology as one of the main resources and tools used to gather necessary information in a more convenient way. ICT is also a well-chosen development pillar we have today in improving one's quality life because it can be used to voice out important issues in our society. People have been dependent to ICT as it became an essential thing to have an innovative way to function.

2. There are various applications that are commonly used by us today. Such as Facebook app, Instagram, Gmail, Twitter etc. Applications mentioned made it easier for me to have a more convenient way to communicate with other people despite of the distance. ICT become one of the important parts of my life, and the community as well, it  connects us with people living in different places just by sitting at home. These apps not only connect the people but are also a source of information, entertainment, and a medium to learn various things anytime and from anywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Although we are considered a generation of digital natives I still think we can be competitive  if ICT was removed as one of our resources or tools. This is due to the fact that we, as human beings, always seek for more and always strive to find ways to become better. We believe that there is always something we can improve that would to benefit us. Without ICT, it would be harder as there are no resources can use that would help us unlike when we do but I don’t think it would hinder people from being competitive.

2. The applications I use the most on my phone and computer is Messenger, Twitter, and Spotify. Messaging apps such as Messenger and Twitter has made it easier to reach someone even from a thousand mile away. With just a few clicks we are able to send a message to someone, something that was impossible just a few decades ago. It has affected me and the community as a whole because it became much easier to stay connected and stay aware of what is happening but at the same time it could also be harmful if used the wrong way such such as when there is someone spreading fake news online.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Living in this generation, we have become aware on the use of technology which in fact became a huge part of our lives. Removing ICT as one of our resources and tools would not make us competitive since we are now depending on it. It will also affect the individual, education, economy, science and transportation for ICT have contributed to these segments. ICT allowed us to inform and disseminate information with other to gain information and knowledge. It became beneficial and convenient to us digital natives for it made our lives easier.

2. I frequently use social media apps for communicating with other people, gaining news and information, and to entertain my self. I use Google Suites for educational purposes wherein our teachers post their lessons and tasks in different Google Classroom. I also use gaming apps for leisure and to have fun with my friends. These kinds of applications affects us in different ways. Some use it as for productivity, some uses to gain information and for the others for communicating.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Having ICT as one of our resources or tools has a big impact on the quality of work we can produce, especially now that we are considered to be a generation of digital natives, it is essential for us to understand how it works for us to use it until its upmost potential. Removing it may either teach people not to be too much dependent on such things and result to something positive like finding other ways to gain knowledge, on the other hand, it's completely evident how it helps us be more equipped in the future in terms of technology.

2. The apps I use on a daily basis would be Facebook, Twitter, I often open these two apps to get informed on current happenings. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Netflix to keep me entertained. Messenger alongside other school required apps to keep me on track of my academics

# data[].attributes.body
1. As part of the generation that technology was already developing in lengths that we can almost replicate reality virtually. If we remove ICT as one of our resources or tools to be competitive, we don't even know where to start on how to survive outside of our homes "correctly".

2. I use apps like Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom and Google Meet to chat with my friends and family. These apps help us communicate with people who are far away from us and to see them what they are doing right now and what changes they have been doing the last time we've talked. I also use apps like YouTube, Twitch, and sometimes TikTok for entertainment purposes, because seeing the world we live in right now, it's nice to forget all the things that happened back then every now and then.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As one of the generation of digital natives, I think removing ICT as one of our resources would be a disadvantage especially during this age where people are used to technology and it is the core of this generation and beyond. Today, we tend to rely on technology since it makes our work more efficient which serves as an advantage for us and would make our lives difficult if it were to be removed.  Yet, it is possible that we can still be competitive since we are gifted individuals that inherit skills and abilities in which we can develop as we discover and seek new things that is information and technology driven.
2. The applications that I typically use on my mobile phone and computer are Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Through Facebook, not only can I message, call or video chat my friends or relatives who are far away, but I can also stay updated with the news that is currently happening in our country and around the world. Similar to Facebook, Instagram provides images or updates of people who I follow whether that would be a relative or a celebrity that I adore but this app is more on visuals. I would say Youtube keeps me entertained by watching different kinds of content from different creators. Although these provide applications easy access to information for me and for the community, however we need to be mindful of validating the source of the information.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Removing ICT would be really unnecessary since it stands as our medium in accessing the easiest way to communicate or access information as fast as possible. The chances of us being competitive will be low since ICT since we depend on ICT so much as our medium in accessing everything.

2. The different applications that i use are Facebook, Instagram, twitter, and it used for communication purposes. It affects me and the community by changing the way we communicate and socialize with eachother.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  From my perspective, We cannot be competitive once the access to the ICT is removed. The ICT plays a big part in education and in everyday life and by the time we loose the access to the ICT, instead of having a fast, accurate, and easy life, we would have difficulty in education and in communication.

2. Facebook, twitter, tiktok, and instagram are my mostly used application in both computer and mobile phone. It affects me and the community as whole through changing how people socialize and the entertainment people gain.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As one of the youths of digital natives, removing ICT as one of our resources and tools may lessen our competency because it permeates all aspects of life, communication, gaining access to information, and advantages for people to learn quickly. Furthermore, ICT provides a convenient platform in our generation, which increases people's efficiency and productivity. Thus, having ICT is part of the lives of digital natives, and removing it will only make our generations' competitiveness lessen.

2. I usually use various media platforms, but I mostly use Facebook, Instagram, and discord. These applications provide me a convenient way to gain access to every piece of information, which helps me to be more knowledgeable and updated in news and trends. Moreover, with the help of the internet, it makes people's lives easier because it is much faster to spread information around the world which gives them awareness in every news.

1.)  In my own opinion, If we remove ICT as one of our resources or tools we would not be competitive because in our current generation it became a necessity for us to learn the new kind of technology as we use it to progress and learn efficiently.  If we remove ICT we wouldn’t be as progressive as we are as of the moment. Also, if we remove ICT our progress will be slow and things will probably more difficult for us to achieve due that we’re lack of resources or tools.

2.) - I usually use different social media platforms but on a day-to-day basis I use platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and some Google applications. I use these applications because most people can get informations much faster and can access them much easier. It updates from time to time so people are always updated about the current news. It can also be use as a communicating tool to talk and exhange such information/s with our loved ones, friends and classmates. It positively affects me and the community because we can get to access and exchange informations conveniently.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personally, we, human beings, can still be competitive if we remove ICT as one of our resources and tools due to our given capabilities. But as being one in the generation of digital natives, I can say that our competitiveness would be reduced once ICT is removed as one of our resources or tools, since we are already used to living with various digital technologies present today. Through the use of ICT, we were able to create a lot of things that are useful in different fields such as in transportation, communication, scientific exploration, education, etc. Therefore, if ICT would be removed as one of our tools, various things and processes today would be hard to execute and some would be completely impossible to be done, making our competitiveness be reduced or lessen compared to having ICT.

2. The different applications that I use the most on both my phone and computer are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Netflix. These applications make me entertained and keep me communicated with my family, friends, and others. They also help me regain my energy when I feel unmotivated and down. These social media apps greatly help the community by keeping all pf us updated on the things that happen all around the world in different fields and aspects like politics, medicine, sports, education, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As a generation of digital natives, we can still be competitive in the absence of ICT because competitiveness is a human nature rather than a technological influence. ICT has offered a better platform to enhance competency/competitiveness, however it does not solely rely on ICT for it is just a tool/instrument rather than a necessity. Removing ICT will make us less competitive, but it does not stop us from being competitive.

2. I use a variety of applications on my devices ranging from social media applications such as Facebook, LINE, and Instagram to search engines and video streaming sites such as google and YouTube. It affects me and the community as a whole by making information accessible more than ever before. Having that said, it is easier for the community to unite and commit as one rather than faction out by digital divide. It makes everyday easier with enhancement and retouches brought by ICT that further amplifies human activities which caters the needs and wants of humans.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personally, if we remove ICT as a source of information, We can be competitive because the standard will be low and we are capable to invent something alternative to ICT. Furthermore, we human beings are very creative and very innovative to find new things that can elevate using technology. We create these things to make it easy for us to use.

2. I use social media apps like discord, facebook, twitter, netflix, and instagram that keep me entertain and help me communicate with friend and family. I use these apps for information because these apps help me keep intact to my surroundings and happenings throughout the world. It helps the community more aware or updated about the trends and news.

1.) With today’s age of globalization, technology has almost become synonymous to our  daily existence. Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives supplementing our exponentially rising needs and demands. It has become one of the primary driving factors in all of society's progress. When everything today has now become fast-phased, technology make it possible to amplify interconnectedness through series of networks easily accessible through our devices allowing us to communicate, create, advertise, manage, educate, and many more  which makes ICT integral for competitiveness. Humans and technology is intertwined, without ICT we cannot really keep up with globalized scale of competition.

2.) I find that most of my digital trail I spend on G-suite apps, messenger, facebook, canva, and netflix. Mainly these apps are the summary of my day. Majority of my time now is spent virtually, with education and entertainment the virtual space not only allows me to have entertainment with one click command, but also this allows me and other students to be educated through a digital system. These apps contributes to a higher awareness on social contemporary issues that our country and our world is facing. Additionally, digital media also help the society adjust with the pandemic, transitioning from physical stores to online selling and many more ways these app let us function given our situation.

1. In my opinion, since we have been equipped of knowledge and skills in technology, removing ICT will make us less competitive. It is one of the things that make life easier, especially for communicating, sharing information, etc. This is what assists us through our daily lives, especially when it comes to information and communication. Without it, it will be harder to develop and advance.

2. The application that I often use daily is Messenger and Twitter. These have definitely helped me in communicating with others, and gathering information and new all around the world. Especially since we are in the middle of a pandemic, we rely more on technology and social media in finding out what is happening around us. With these applications, the community will be able to reach out with each other and pass on different information. It can be news, updates, or even for personal experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
1.)  In our generation today living in a digital era, I personally think that if we remove ICT as one of our resources and tools, that we will still be competitive but not as competitive as we were when we have ICT as one of our resources, it will lessen the information that we've known because most of the knowledge we have today was learned from the internet. Technology has also been a part of our lives, when we wake up in the morning, most of us instantly checks out our phones to check the notifications. If we don't have ICT and this pandemic occurs, how can students like us be competitive if we can't learn since we can't go to school, so in some sense we will have a hard time being competitive.

2.) On a daily basis, the apps that I use are My stock trading apps, BDO nomura, Etoro, Social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, I also use the G-Suite apps to check all my activities. These apps that I use keeps me updated of what's happening not only in the Philippines but in the whole world.

In my opinion, I think it would lessen our competitiveness when ICT is no longer a part of our resources or tools. With the help of ICT, we could grow and learn or improve other skills. Without the help of this, it would be harder for us to move forward because we are lacking resources or tools.

2.
I often use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube, etc, on both my mobile phone and computer. With the help of these applications, I could be updated on different things like, the news or what trend is trending. I could also communicate with my friends and family with the applications said above.

1.) In my own point of view, not considering ICT as one of our resources and tools, we would not be competitive as we are. Given the fact that we are in a generation of digital natives. However, that does not limit our capabilities and capacity as a person. We could still manifest competitiveness in our own being but in this kind of generation, it would be very difficult to cope up without ICT. In all honesty, almost all of our lives revolves around technology. Especially in education, whereas all of the lessons and additional information about anything can be found on the internet, google and other kinds of websites. Just like the new system of education in the middle of a pandemic, we mostly rely on technologies and gadgets that has every applications that would help everything works and come to its places. Without ICT, education in the middle of crisis would be very impossible to conduct.

2.) Applications that I usually visit on my daily routine are G-Suite Apps, Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Spotify, YouTube and Netflix. These applications are my key of keeping up with the community. These are the apps that is keeping me updated to every news and situations out there. All of these have helped me and the community as well in a manner of being connected with one another despite of the crisis that is still happening to us and to different countries. However, despite the positive effects and convenience these digital apps might offer us, negative impacts would always be present. These tools are used by the society in order to communicate with one another. If these tools would not be used responsibly, it creates chaos and discoordination of one nation. Putting many things at risk; relationships, perspectives, beliefs and mental health of every netizen.

1. We cannot be competitive by expelling ICT as one of the instruments or tools in learning especially within this current era where technology is important to each individual, it is necessary to learn and understand things about technology in order to achieve progress.

1.) Being one of the generation of digital natives, I think it would be a hindrance to remove ICT as one of our resources, particularly during this age where people are used to technology. Once access to ICT is removed, we can't be competitive. In education and in daily life, it plays a major role.We prefer to rely on technology because it makes our jobs more effective, which serves us as an advantage, and if it were to be removed, it would make our lives difficult.

2.) I often use social media like facebook, twitter, instagram, messenger, google classroom and google meet. With these apps I can communicate with my family, friends and classmates.

Since we are part of the generation of digital natives, I think if we remove ICT as our resources or tools we will gradually lose our competitiveness and our competency since almost of all our lives are now dependent on ICT. Although, as humans we all have our own abilities and talents but ICT helps us improve on those abilities and it also provides us platforms and tools for us to utilize our abilities and talents.

2.   The apps that I use on a daily basis varies depending on my mood and depending with my purpose but I often use tiktok, instagram, spotify, tumblr, and youtube. These applications help me get entertained and it also helps me be updated with current events since they are have a association with social media. These applications serve as an outlet of awareness for people since they can use these apps to find information and also these applications can serve as platforms for people to express themselves.

2.) The apps that I usually use everyday are Facebook, instagram, messenger, and most importantly Google apps. These apps helps me interact with my friends, especially now that we're in quarantine. Face to face interactions are avoided. The Google apps help me with my online learning, because it has different tools that can help me with my assigned tasks, and different websites as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. No, because technology has a impact in our daily lifestyle. It helps us to navigate various task and helps us in our work. If we remove ICT our life will change dramatically because it guides us in our life.

2. I'm using Facebook, YouTube, and some websites that are credible sources. It affects me to have credible sources because there are news and articles that are not written by a professional or is not reliable and some of them are even aired in television, like the medical program and the host has a suspicious degree and she advices in television what to do and what to take. She also sells medications that are unapproved by the FDA, so I think we must be careful in sharing information to the public.

1.  We cannot be competitive by removing ICT as one of the resources or tools in learning. In the current digital era, it is necessary to learn and understand things about technology in order to achieve progress and faster. In fact, by using ICT as one of the subjects in school, we could help the youth to be equipped in the future.
2. The application in mobile phone is mobile app while in computer is desktop app. As a student, community or as whole the impact of mobile phone and desktop are obvious include education, business, health and social life. Mobile technology has drastically changed in cultural norms and individual behaviors. The impact are both positive side and also a negative side.
