STEM 12 ENG A – GROUP 3: TECH TIMES by Allyia Colyn Lorenzo https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85 Tech Times has two main objectives which are: to be able to make the distinction between technology's beneficial and harmful consequences; and to advocate the appropriate use of technology by human beings. en-us 2023-09-20 03:03:58 UTC 2023-09-27 23:46:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/2146321790/0f5ffd7f0664ee00208a54648805b9f0/IMG_2967.jpg s2022105040 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2711974261 To begin with, the Internet is an electronic communications network that connects computer networks and organizational computer facilities around the world—used with the exception of when being used attributively (Merriam-Webster, 2019). The Internet, a technological marvel, has transformed the world in unprecedented ways. Its influence permeates every facet of our lives, prompting a critical evaluation of its impact: Is the Internet a boon or a bane?]]> 2023-09-20 03:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2711974261 Internet as Boon s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712058737 On the other hand, the Internet is undeniably a boon; only the Internet makes it possible to communicate with people and make new friends from around the globe. We are able to discuss and exchange ideas and opinions with others, learn about various cultures, and appreciate them. It aids in our ability to extend and enlighten our understanding of and perception of different cultures and to adapt to them. ]]> 2023-09-20 04:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712058737 Internet as Bane s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712060109 To contradict it, the Internet is not without its pitfalls, which is a threat to the world. Some of the drawbacks of the internet, such as for youth and children, are that they are getting addicted to the internet, thus causing health problems; children waste their time by playing online games for a long time; and also, internet hackers create havoc in the world of business and communication. ]]> 2023-09-20 04:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712060109 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712060548 In essence, the Internet is a global electronic communications network that connects computer networks and facilities worldwide. It has transformed our lives by enabling communication, exchanging ideas, and learning about different cultures. While the internet provides popular social media sites, study notes, and answers to questions, it also poses threats such as addiction, time waste, and cyberbullying. It also fuels misinformation and fake news, undermining trust in institutions and destabilizing societies. The internet is connected to everything we own, making it difficult to turn it on or off. Despite its benefits, the internet also poses threats such as power loss and the potential for misinformation and fake news. When used properly, the Internet is unquestionably a blessing, but when used improperly, it may also pose risks and have disastrous effects.]]> 2023-09-20 04:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712060548 What are social media sites? s2022105749 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712143825 Social media describes the ways in which individuals interact with one another through the creation, sharing, and/or exchange of information and thoughts in online groups and networks. ]]> 2023-09-20 05:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712143825 1. Cyberbullying s2022105590 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712229134 Cyberbullying is the sharing of negative or harmful content about someone, sometimes including private information, leading to humiliation and emotional distress. This anonymity can embolden cyberbullies, making it challenging for victims to seek help.]]> 2023-09-20 06:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712229134 Is AI Tool a Help? s2022105040 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712446485 There are only a few applications of AI that I'm aware of. It is used in mobile apps like TikTok and answer questions through chat. It is helpful for someone who wants to be productive and save time. Like editing pictures that may take hours or days, they can be finished in a minute with more options, or those who want to travel without knowing how to drive through self-driving cars that can learn how to interpret their surroundings like a normal driver. We can look at it as something that improves our daily lives, depending on how we use it. ]]> 2023-09-20 08:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712446485 Is AI Tool a Hindrance? s2022105040 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712446894 But there is also news where people tend to take advantage of it in the wrong way, like students who auto-generate the answers to their homework using AI applications. This can affect their learning behavior and discourage other students who are studying hard. There is also news that AI will take over some of the work of employees like graphic designers, factory workers, drivers, etc. It may be true for some, and this will greatly affect their lives as they may need to look for new jobs.]]> 2023-09-20 08:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712446894 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712466175 In summary, digital (online) games can have both positive and bad impacts, and how they affect a person will largely rely on how they interact with these games. To maximize the advantages of gaming while limiting any potential negatives, moderation and balance are essential. By being aware of these consequences, people can make educated decisions about their gaming habits and make sure that games continue to be an enjoyable and enriching experience rather than harming their overall wellbeing.]]> 2023-09-20 09:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712466175 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712582209 However, looking back on our history, this kind of thing always happens. People learn new things and apply them to different technologies. There were no computers before, no internet, and no mobile phones. And when they are introduced to the world, they have their pros and cons as well. But today, it is difficult to live without them. Just like AI, it may be complex and may affect some people today, but it may be something that we can't live without in the future as well. We need to move on and adapt to changes. So, I may say, it is a help for those who use it to improve their daily lives but a hindrance to those who use it in the wrong way.]]> 2023-09-20 10:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712582209 LORENZO, ALLYIA COLYN C. s2022105040 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712590363 "Internet: The Boon and The Bane of the Information Age"]]> 2023-09-20 10:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712590363 s2022105018 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712668486 Information is easily accessible nowadays, especially with the newest technology, which makes information such as news, commentary, entertainment, and user-generated content readily available online and just one click away.

Everyone should be encouraged to analyze and question the information they are encountering online and in the real world, think critically first, and safely search for reliable sources.]]> 2023-09-20 14:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712946577 s2022105018 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2712948323 Be a smart person in everything you encounter; just because something is shared doesn’t mean you will accept it easily. Fact-checking is a must to avoid misleading and misunderstanding. Information, misinformation, and disinformation are important to differentiate, which can help with our everyday happenings. Also, we too must avoid spreading false information where we must verify it first before speaking and posting. Let us guide people who are media illiterate so that they can be saved from wrong information.

In the earlier years, since technology and machines were not yet available, people used any available resources around them to communicate with one another. However, as time passed, people didn't feel content with how they used to interact and get information. That's why they invented different machines and technologies that are evolving and improving in the present year.]]> 2023-09-23 03:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717032057 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717032296 2023-09-23 03:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717032296 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717033005 In the past, individuals would only communicate using paper, leaves, clay, and other materials that were readily available to them.

Anyone can easily share our content, even bogus news, which can spread quickly if we are not responsible. While most individuals spend so much time on social media that they fail to use it responsibly—from showing respect for others to uploading harmful content—it can blur the lines between our personal and professional lives. When using social media, there are several aspects to take into account, such as respecting other people's privacy and fact-checking. Fact-checking after posting is one of the few instances of social media usage done responsibly. So posting harmful content, fake news, etc. may lead to misinformation. Misinformation is the spreading of untrue information with the knowledge that it is untrue. Always keep in mind that using social media responsibly is also for the benefit of the user, since there may be consequences that have a short or long-term effect on our personal lives.

In conclusion, there are many careless social media users, and it is they who disseminate fake news. We therefore need to use caution while disseminating or acquiring new information because it may have an impact on both ourselves and other people. When posting something on social media, we should always double-check the facts because these sites may be dangerous themselves and contain bad content that spreads quickly. Social media usage should be done responsibly in the present era, given how quickly it is evolving.]]> 2023-09-23 03:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717038080 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717042011 2023-09-23 03:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717042011 s2022105533 https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717042371 The internet, while offering incredible opportunities, also presents a multitude of dangers, especially for children and those less aware of the risks.

While technology plays a significant role in contributing to the economy and society, it also brings with it certain disadvantages, one of which is the digital divide.

According to the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), 65% of Filipinos do not have access to the internet, and only 35% of the country have the access to internet. In contrast, 97% of 3- to 18-year-olds have access to home internet in countries like America, as per the American Community Survey (ACS). Specifically, 93% have access through a computer, while 4% rely on smartphones for internet access at home. The remaining 3% have no internet access at home. It's essential to note that the Philippines and America differ in terms of geographical location, preferences, skills, and economic status, leading to disparities in technological impact and acquisition—this is what the digital divide entails.]]> 2023-09-23 04:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/s2022105040/gtk59v2pcm866g85/wish/2717049439 1.

It plays a pivotal role in keeping citizens politically informed, facilitating engagement in political discussions, and empowering the exercise of freedom of expression.
