Technology & Change (Discussion)

• How does technology impact your life?

• How does technology impact your behaviour?
• What impact does technology have on the way you and other
individuals interact?
During the past few decades, technology has already gotten so
far that it's possible to do almost anything with just a click
or the tap of a finger. Given our current time, for example,
we are capable of hosting classes, seminars, lectures, etc.,
with only the use of our phones or laptops, despite being in
different places at the same time. I, personally, get to
experience the wonders and advantages of technology every day,
from browsing media content and knowing what's currently
happening in different parts of the world to simply conversing
with some of the people I know that I don't get to see very
often. Technology has really imprinted and made an impact on
my life as it has gotten to the point where we can't avoid it,
therefore making it part of our daily lives. For example,
since I can do so much with only using my phone or my laptop,
it can be a source of my entertainment, education, or even
communication.

It's general knowledge that technology does make our lives

easier as it provides convenience and availability, even for
the most basic humane tasks such as socializing or simply
getting something to eat, but there's no denying that this
type of convenience can affect our lives in a negative way.
For example, since we are capable and so used to the speed of
achieving things using our phones, it may make us a tiny bit
more impatient and/or lazy when it comes to actually doing
some of the things we want or need to do in real life.
Personally, I can't deny feeling this way sometimes,
especially when I'm in a hurry or if I simply don't feel like
going through the extra effort of going somewhere or waiting
in line for the food I ordered. In addition, When I use my

gadgets, it ruins my mood when someone interrupts my time when

I'm on my phone. This isn't a nice attitude unless you're
doing your job and are busy, and some people will interrupt
you for no reason.

As I've mentioned before, technology has made socialization

and communication so much easier and more attainable as it
gives us the opportunity and ways to converse and interact
with people regardless of how far apart both people are. The
exact same thing could be said for me, especially now that we
are attending classes via different online platforms (e.g.,
Zoom, Google Classroom, MS Teams, etc.). Technology has really
helped me communicate with my peers and my instructors,
allowing me to really connect with them even if we don't get
to see each other face-to-face. In fact, people nowadays make
friends through various social media platforms. Technology has
enabled us to communicate with people from afar, albeit at the
expense of real life. People have lost touch with the people
they encounter on a daily basis or with whom they live.
Instead of striking up a conversation at the dinner table,
they would be preoccupied with their phones.

Technically, as an ICT student, when you say ICT, it's all

about programming, editing, coding, designing a web, etc.
Based on how you’ll attach it to technology, ICT could
contribute to several changes in education as it can make
learning more meaningful and more straightforward for both
students and teachers. However, there are issues related to
cost and safety and the issue of allowing children to become
technologically reliant while still using the method that was
initially developed at home. It is essential for us to know or
discover these things. For our sake and safety. Not just for
ourselves but also for everyone else's good of us all. We can
use self-controlled technology. This day in college or SHS,
school, and other critical matters in daily life, it’s a
massive support for us, mostly when it comes to conducting
some research and gathering some information that we need the
most. Technology strengthens the state of the economy and

supports people in industries such as electronic sealing and

trade. And we have to use it properly. If you already know to
yourself

That you’re using it in improper ways or abusing it, and we

have reached our limits using on our technology. You should
stop and think we should train ourselves on a self-discipline
on how to use it at taking note what’s the advantages & the
disadvantages using it we can use it in a proper way like
using it on works, schools, jobs, etc. By incorporating or
integrating technology into the mix, the risk of human
mistakes was lowered. The potential for human errors was
reduced too. While the research process has been accelerated
and has been increased with the help of technology and its
artificial intelligence. Cloud-based technologies have begun
to alter the way academics collect data and disseminate
information. Furthermore, in research, technology refers to
different techniques or methods for systems and equipment that
are the product of scientific knowledge being applied to
practical purposes or objectives. So we must appreciate on
what we have; let us thank to our creator, though.

Technology is everywhere and it doesn’t go anywhere. It is not

uncommon to see two teenagers seated together on a bus,
intensely chatting on their mobiles instead of talking to each
other. This seems to make sense in our culture that teenagers
are so reliant on technology, but that can also lead to
negative consequences Obviously indeed! Technology is an
instrument that can have several advantages when used
properly. Some few of the teenagers today they’re using the
social medias on nonsense things. “The youth is the hope of
the nation” Just as our hero had said. (-José Rizal) So as a
responsible student and youth in today's day keep and cherish
our technology today. At the very young age today be a good
role model or example to others. Do not let the others
influenced you. "It has become appallingly obvious that our
technology has exceeded our humanity."— Albert Einstein
Einstein, “Technology should improve your life… not become

your life.” — Billy Cox, “it’s not just the effect technology
on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on
society, on politics, it’s that everything now exists in
technology to the point where technology is the new and
comprehensive host of nature of life.” — Godfrey Reggio, “The
first rule of any technology used in a business is that
automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the
efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an
inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” —Bill
Gates. Just look at the examples of famous quotes said or
given by the famous persons in the history. That's the good
examples of basis and motivation for our generation now.

Activity: You Are What You Post

• Pretend that you are moving to a new city.

• You’ve found a great 3-bedroom apartment, and you’re looking for 2
roommates to share it with.
• You decide to go online and check out the “SpaceBookster” social
networking profiles of a few people who have emailed you inquiring
about your request for roommates.
• Look at their profiles and use the “Social Networking Site Evaluation”
worksheet to make notes about each.
• Based on their profiles, select your “top 2” preferences to ask to
move in. Be ready to discuss why you chose these people as potential
roommates.

Social Networking Site Evaluation

Persons: Notes:
Note for: Person #1 1st person, I'm thinking he's a
nice and reliable person
considering the fact that he has
served in the military which
 FAR EASTERN POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

WEBINAR TOPIC: COPING WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY in various

most likely earned him valuable

skills and deepened his moral
integrity. I'm certain we will
get along nicely since some of
my favorite activities and
interests aligns with his.

Note for: Person #2 2nd person, The first impression

she gives off is that of a
strong and independent woman. I
can tell that her sweeter side
overpowers her other emotions
after I've learned about her
activities and interests.

Note for: Person #3 3rd person, The impression I got

from him is that he's a strong
person living on his own with
his canine companion, contented
with his quiet and peaceful life
and that he has rather
interesting hobbies that you
would not find very common from
other people.

Note for: Person #4 4th person, He's rather unusual

and interesting, he gives off a
playful atmosphere based on his
interests and bucket lists and
he seems to prefer being called
by his nickname. I get the
feeling that he's the kind of
guy whose gifted in the skill of
being able to brighten up
people's days as if it was
normal for him.

Note for: Person #5 5th person, The first impression

that I got from him is that he
is interesting and a very
talented person that earned him
a better future. Although he may

be a widower, he is gifted with

passion for machines/engineering
and a wonderful wife.

Note for: Person #6 6th person, I'm able to tell

he's brave and rather daring to
take on things that seems like a
potential challenge for him. He
seems very fun to casually chat
with as he not only likes
certain books and movie series,
but he also seems fond of video
games.

Note for: Person #7 7th person, I believe that he's

more than an optimistic person
as he is very earnest in doing
everything he can to be
successful. He seems to have a
strong body primarily due to his
love for sports and it's a good
thing to have.

Note for: Person #8 8th person, His actions visibly

shows how deep his moral
integrity is as well as his love
for his family. I can tell he is
a very caring person as he does
not use his resources only for
himself but also for supporting
important causes.

Note for: Person #9 9th person, He possesses great

skills with high ambitions and
he seems like an optimistic
person. It seems the problems
that went his way couldn't hold
him back from working harder and
he has the skill to properly
assess a person which can be
considered his greatest asset.

Note for: Person #10 10th person, He's a fun guy who
took inspirations from fictional
heroes and also very
knowledgeable about literatures.
He also has a knack for writing
and journalism, hoping that he
would make a difference in the
world that I think it's a great
goal.

Person #5: believes in different beliefs but in a

knowledgeable way based on his or her own abilities and
talents. In this way, others will be comfortable enough to be
with him because he is a professional when it comes to things
that others cannot do, especially if he is placed in the same
field as others because he has formal training when it comes
to philosophy. Reading through his background, one can
observe that he is a mature adult and can understand the
situations of others well enough because he knows how to
handle them if he's going to use his own calculations. He has
his own accomplishments, which include: "won a street race at
the age of 10, built a functioning robot as a child, married
the girl of my dreams, who was a politically powerful woman."
so when someone needs help with science subjects, he can be
related to the main purpose of social networking site
evaluation because he's more into modern technologies and
technological structures, so it can be applied based on the
main point or topic. And a little bit of a funny guy for the
quote he likes. That means the expression "Houston, we have a
problem" refers to an unanticipated difficulty that has
arisen on the job. In other words, there is some kind of
issue that has to be addressed. And if you're going to search
for it, It has a meme about it.

Person #8: can be considered as a respectful man and so

faithful to those around him to assure them that there is
also honesty about him because he always fights for what he
believes. in addition to his statement, "I am a family man,
and I consider myself religious as well." I come from a
family of wealth and influence, and I try to use my resources
to support important causes. "I'm a leader and have
successfully united people towards a common goal." The fact
that it is widely known in today's generation is not that so
thankful enough. He's so religious that even though he's a
successful man in his life and has completed and
achieved high achievements, he still doesn't forget what he
created. he's grateful enough to God for what things he has.
"We should fully understand our religion." "God sends us ...
tranquility." - Person 8. Thus I believe in a man with a good
heart who has good work. And that is what can be applied to
most everyone who doesn't be so shallow because you can't get
to where you stand without the help of your creator. And he
also has the initiative to be a responsible leader when it
comes to leadership when he is placed in the Social
Networking Site Evaluation because he can already socialize
mostly when it comes to public speaking through social medias
nowadays. Clearly, the media they can get along with person 5
because both of them are well mannered and gentlemen, so when
they interact with other people, for sure they will
definitely acknowledge you as a true friend and they will
treat you pleasantly, delightfully, and nicely.

At the end of the day, we should be aware that the information

we put on our social media profile accounts reflects us in a
variety of ways, depending on what and how we post. Because we
 FAR EASTERN POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE
INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Inquiries , Investigation & Immersion

fields

are looking at the information in the context of understanding

the conditions around all of the information that we have
acquired, we may not be aware of how those things seem to
others or what sort of impression we may be creating.
Furthermore, our aim might sometimes be to portray or depict
the individuals in the manner we would want others to see us,
which can be misleading. The impressions formed by the
profiles may or may not correspond to the manner in which
other people would see these persons/people if they were to
meet them face-to-face. Perhaps we will come to different
conclusions about who they would want to live with. So I would
be still delighted without the hesitation to invite them and
move into the apartment.
