Essay: Read the statement/s carefully. Answer the given statement/s concisely.
a. Business
Businesses normally have a complicated way of doing things. From day-
to-day operations, finance systems, transactions and even up to the
management. However, upon the arrival of digital technology, the tangles of the
complicated culture of businesses lessen with the help of automation. Those
goods which was supposedly done manually can now be done by machineries,
the financial statements which was computed with calculators applying various
formulas are now easier by just typing the equation/functions into the computers,
storage of financial data are also made easier and more secure, transactions
which sometimes can be repetitive can now be automated with various functions.
Management are also helped greatly due to the fact that with the help of digital
technology, some presentations about data, reports, suggestions and ideas can
now be shared more effectively and efficiently. All in all, digital technology have
brought great changes which made business less complicated as it was before.
b. Job
No job is easy they say. Workers wake up early and go home at night
tired from their day to day job. But that was before. With the help of newly
invented machines and computers which caused automation in almost
everything, workers’ job are lessened but it reached the point where
some business owners lay off employees because they choose machines
over people due to the fact machines can work more effectively and
efficiently than people. Machines do not need food allowances or paid
vacation leave. Investing in machineries are indeed a good choice for
business owners however, on the side of the job-seekers, their
opportunities are decreasing which results to the increase in number of
jobless graduated people. I have known some people who are graduates
but were not able to find a job coinciding the degree they took, it was
because of limited job vacancies in our country. Some degree holders
became domestic helpers because of this scarcity in job availability. In
conclusion, digital technology in the perspective of business owners / job
providers are an advantage while in the job-seekers perspective, it is a
disadvantage.
c. Health
Digital technology in health for me had positive and negative effects. Due
to it, more and more cure is discovered making it easier for those
unfortunate unhealthy people to prolong their lives or to have a chance to
experience how is it to live like a normal person. However on the other
side, it is undeniable that before reaching a milestone in medicine, there
are some trials and errors that doctors encounter wherein instead of
developing cures, some ends up creating more and even deadlier
diseases making those previously healthy people go ill and even die. On
the other side, digital technology is not meant to be blamed for this due to
the fact that technology were just mere instruments and can’t do anything
on their own. The discipline is to be laid upon those in-charge of those
controls. Scientists playing God must be stopped before they end up
causing more harm to people. They should not use digital technology with
their personal greed. In turn, they should focus on improving health
services which should be the top priority of medicine.
d. Lifestyle
The life now and then was too different that I myself can’t help but
reminisce the old times. The lifestyle now compared to before have
undergone drastic change with the arrival of digital technology. It was
indeed good, considering that it made our daily lives be easier and more
comfortable, and less time-consuming making us able to do more, but it is
also undeniable that the today’s lifestyle led to the declination of physical
activities which resulted to poor health conditions on both young and old
people. Instead of playing outside with friends, running around, releasing
sweats, children tend to stay at home and play with their gadgets alone.
Some people instead of going out and breath in fresh air by going out for
groceries choose to just shop online for less convenience. There are
even some who relies on machines when it comes to household chores
causing immobility in people. I believe that hardships give thrill to life, but
technology seems to be taking the thrill away. Overall, I think digital
technology gave a negative effect on the lifestyle of people.
e. Entertainment
Advancement in digital technology caused the entertainment industry to
boom these days. Accessibility of some entertainment means increased
its popularity to the point that we can now be entertained and entertain
worldwide. It gave us lots of choices where we can select according to
our preferences. Anytime and anywhere, there is entertainment. It keeps
people living even with the hardships they meet in their day to day living.
With the digital technology, we can now watch movies for free without the
convenience of going to cinemas or movie centres. Entertainment does
not only include movies and dramas but also some pictures containing
funny interpretations which we now call “Memes”. Memes are the main
examples on the involvement of entertainment due to the development of
digital technology. With the unexpectedly high level of humor Filipinos
have, new funny ideas and facts about life are getting developed in a
span of seconds. Who could have thought that a stolen shot could reach
millions of people and make them laugh right? But after all, this is
entertainment. The main purpose is to keep people entertained and be
happy to forget even in just a little moment about the problems they have
in life. In conclusion, I think digital technology did a great job in
developing the means of entertainment nowadays.
f. Education
In terms of education, there could be positive and negative effects. In a
positive view, digital technology made information be more accessible for
students making it possible for them to be able to gain more knowledge.
Students nowadays loves to explore about the things they are interested
about. Digital technology bridged the gap between students who wants to
learn and the information they need. Some even says digital technology
made education much easier. On the side of teachers, digital technology
mad it easier for them to educate students with the use of PowerPoint
presentations and some video contents which seems to be more effective
than just theoretical information. However, it can’t be denied that
technology also made it hard to reach out on students especially those
who were distracted with social media and online games specifically
Mobile Legends. On the part of students, the negative effect is that it
could cause loss of interest in studies. Some are getting addicted to some
applications, social media platforms and games to the point that they left
their studies and daily social life behind. But then again, it is not should
be blamed alone to the digital technology. People must discipline
the,selves and their use of the technology to make it balanced and and
helpful not excessive and destructive.

2. Differentiate virtual reality technology and augmented technology from one another.
What are the positive and negative implications of these emerging trends to our culture and
society
Virtual reality (VR), the use of computer modeling and simulation that enables a
person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or other
sensory environment. VR applications immerse the user in a computer-
generated environment that simulates reality through the use of interactive
devices, which send and receive information and are worn as goggles, headsets,
gloves, or body suits. In a typical VR format, a user wearing a helmet with a
stereoscopic screen views animated images of a simulated environment. The
illusion of “being there” (telepresence) is effected by motion sensors that pick up
the user’s movements and adjust the view on the screen accordingly, usually in
real time (the instant the user’s movement takes place). On the other hand,
Augmented reality is a more versatile and practical version of virtual reality, as it
does not fully immerse individuals in an experience. Augmented reality features
interactive scenarios that enhance the real world with images and sounds that
create an altered experience. The most common current applications of this
overlay of digital images on the surrounding environment include the recent
Pokémon Go fad.
Using the fundamentals of graphics design, enumerate and explain the elements on this image
that needs to improve and be able to create your version of this design.
Upon seeing this design, the first thing that came to my mind is the word “Boring”. The offers
is nice, I myself could have been encouraged to buy if only the poster will be a little more
attracting. Who looks at an uninteresting postage right? Before focusing in the content of the
offer, marketers should find ways to let people know about that offer. Considering the fact that it
is supposed to be used for marketing purposes over which its main purpose is to attract
customers, this design is a fail. First thing I noticed, is the lack of color. For a graphic design
which aims to attract customers, Color is a must-focused element. It is the first thing that
attracts people. With the right combination of colors, it can make people stop and stare at it for
a while. Another thing is the fonts used. It seems redundant even if it’s actually simple. The
shapes used, instead of using diamond shapes to indicate a festive theme, how about using
colourful flags clip arts and then add some forms to it to make it seem realistic. About the
information stated in the flyer, it should minimized to make it less redundant and straight to the
point because people find it time-consuming to read everything and it gives by-passers less
opportunity to digest the information from the flyer. Here is my improved version of the flyer:
