Disadvantages of Computer Technology Proposed Solutions

The world of internet is intertwined with the
1. Inappropriate pornographic and violent free and accessible websites; all it takes is just
websites. an internet connection. Since internet lacks the
security interfaces to prohibit pornographic and
violent websites, it fraudulently making the
world of internet, a dangerous place. In order to
minimize the twitching and prevalent
pornographic and violent websites, it should be
properly administered by each of one. The
following are the ways, which I think could
gradually help to decline the abode of
inappropriate content in the reach of all users:

 First, Report. We users are in-charge of

our activities online; notwithstanding the
content we tend to see, consciously or
not, it is better to help stop spreading
inappropriate contents, thru hitting the
“report” button. In this, we are not
encouraging inappropriate contents to
flood in any online platforms; it
basically means helping to build a safe
environment for everyone online.

 Second, discourage to visit unknown

websites. It gets even dangerous with
how we tend to be captivated by the
unknown websites with different
motives. In internet, sexual predators are
lingering around, waiting to devour an
ignorant person. So as much as we can,
please find something recreational to do;
divert your attention not to get tempted
to watch pornographic videos. It would
only affect our well-being, waste our
time, and worst, affect how we think.
 Better yet, find and do something
enjoyable; you can paint, draw, sing and
dance. Remember: They say, we as
humans, we are subject to be easily
tempted; but that does not mean true. I
still deemed to believe that we are born
well with dignity, which could not be
easily washed by temporary gratification
in ay forms of social media.

 Lastly, stop romanticizing internet as

a tool for sexual fulfilment. It may
sound subjectively incorrect; and others
will say “h’wag magmalinis”. But you
know, the more we say these words, the
more we encourage the habit,
normalizing the act that it is normal to
watch and spread scandals lasciviously
as possible. Listen, it is never okay to be
proud of lambasting someone else in
social media; spreading inappropriate
things that could emancipate someone to
be degraded. Don’t post unnecessary
thing; before doing so, come to think if it
is true, kind, necessary and important.

2. Technology dependence led to a decline It is partially correct. Technology comes with

in students' spelling and abilities. the most comforting features; it basically make
things done a lot easier and faster. Indeed, we
save so much time. But in one hand, we are
getting dependent. And the bad thing about
dependence on something, is we tend to become
mobilize and productive. Now, spelling abilities
are in dire need for academic purposes; right so,
total dependence on ‘auto-correction’ mislead
our purpose. Really, auto correction. Copy-cut-
paste, it is the tolerated norm that we actually
do. And in order to align this overly misused
way of technology, it must properly
administered with patience and integrity.
The solution is in our hands. I mean, the least
we expect if we just copy and paste is this: we
just fooled ourselves, we get done fast and easy,
but we haven’t learn anyway. Time will come,
we could not be able to spell as simple word
correctly. Remember: we are free to do things in
any extent we want; but we are not free to alter
the consequences of our action.
3. Easy access to information made Cheating in the context of school is not a
cheating rampant. surprise. It is a generational issue that is
continuously on-going. And we cannot deny the
truth that once in our life, we cheat. Easy access
to information made cheating rampant. It
basically pointing the concept that: Students are
not inclined to make their own composition of
outputs and projects, since Google is their
bestfriend that they can lean on anytime.
Having been able to relate on this matter, I
come to think that cheating in any form, is never
okay. It is a bad habit that destroys one’s morale
fiber. And I think the earnest ways that can help
us on this matter is through the following:
 Don’t copy-cut-paste. Instead of doing
such, try to patiently read the context,
reflect, and write anything that relates to
what you have read. Don’t try to revise,
and change its words; it is the same
thing, cheating. Try to believe in
yourself that you can your own
composition without copying on the
already-made sources.

 Write your inputs as honest as you

can. Remember, if you are asked to do
something, it basically means putting
your effort and honesty as well. Indeed,
technology make things a lot easier. But
notice, it is much rewarding in feeling,
that you make a work, out of your own
mind and creativity. Notice that after
you do a paper works without copying
from internet, you are happy and
satisfied. Because the thing is, when you
search and copy on Google, you catalyst.
That basically pertains to an action that
you are taking it, changing it, and
making it yours. That is not appropriate
and you just fool yourself the moment
you receive appreciation with your ill-
gotten works.

 Encourage anyone you know to stop

cheating in any form. But before doing
that, make sure you practice the same
thing also. Walk your Talk. Your
 friends, your classmates and colleagues
are the people who are much likely to be
subjected with the ‘cheating habit’.
Imagine this, a week before the exam,
you studied so much—read and read all
the lessons. You think that’s the most
practical way to pass. On the day of
exam, you got bit turned disgust,
because your friends are just copying
your answers; you are shy to say ‘no’
because they are your friends. Result,
they got much roughly higher scores
than yours. Remember this, be a person
of integrity. If someone refuse to give
you his answers, don’t be offended. Try
to reflect how many sleepless night they
got to endure just to study; and you,
lamenting the opportunity on just in an
easy-peasy way is a pure illustration of
stealing someone’s right to gain the
higher possible score. Don’t cheat;
because one thing that you want, is for
people to remember you as an honest
and a person of integrity.

4. There is a significant drop in students' Attention in class discussion is inclined to

attention in class. Students are more portray listening and participating; and as per
focused on their mobile technologies the attention is directed in helping us in the
they have with them. aspect of taking examinations. Mobile gadgets
are handheld devices that contains anything for
our comfort. And notice that mobile gadgets and
attention in class is not a good combination.
And we must be mindful what is to skip, and
what is to maintain.
 Mobile gadgets should put in a silent
mode and place it inside the bags or
pockets during class discussion. It
should be guarded with responsible
usage, that whatever instances a mobile
gadget could hinder the attention
towards classes, are intensively
prohibited.
 I personally discourage taking pictures
of presentation during class. The reason
is, we get to depend on the pictures of
slides taken; and hence, we don’t pay
much attention to the discussion. Since
we are confident that we got the
 pictures, we will went on studying it on
our homes; turns out not getting
understanding about what the class
report is all about. So as much as
possible, just get the copy of the
presentation at the end of discussion;
and better yet try not be diverted with
phones while classes are going on.

5. Cyberbullying as a serious problem has An act of profanity in any possible forms is

come about. never okay. It does not bring a good feeling to a
person afflicted; it just make someone
miserable, feel uneasy, and depressed. And
unfortunately, we tend to engage to such
activity—bullying someone online, not
recognizing that this is a form of bullying.
Cyberbullying is an act of making feel someone
worthless and threatened, in the manner of
social media platforms. And as students, we
must position ourselves to better promote the
safer place online for everyone.
 Monitor online activity. Luckily,
cyberbullying has one advantage: you
can notice it and save the evidence. We
must be mindful of what we post or
share online. Let is passed through
countless thinking why we should be
able to post something; is it kind and
necessary?
 Restore self-respect. Remember that the
ultimate goal is to make someone happy
and safe. You must be directed to the
principle that whatever you post must be
inclined for people who will see, that
they will feel unharmed. Don’t post
anything that can compromise your
reputation. Because there are people out
there, that will judge you based on how
you appear online, and eventually, they
can use it as fuel for bullying. But
remember, don’t let these people hold
you back to express yourself. As long as
you are not harming anyone, you’re
good.
 Never open messages from people you
don’t know. Please, delete all messages
without reading them from people you
don’t know, as they could contain
 viruses and infect your computer. It is
best to not engage and ignore them.
 Don’t be a cyberbully. Remember the
phrase your parents instilled in you as a
kid: “treat others as you want to be
treated”. If you are mean to others
online, it reinforces the idea that that
kind of behavior is acceptable.
