"The Information Age, also commonly known as the Computer Age or
Information Era, is an idea that the current age will be
characterized
by the ability of individuals to transfer information freely, and to
have instant access to knowledge that would have been difficult or
impossible to find previously." It was how information age defined by
the Wikipedia.
However, we should only not know its definition but its essence to
Filipino families. Modern world has given birth to the universe.
Here are the modern technologies such as cellular phones, internet,
telephones, television, etc. which is popularly used by Filipino
citizens. They help them to communicate to their neighbors and
relatives away from them. Therefore, it is necessary to appreciate
and
use them properly.
Moreover, the term "Information Age" is often applied in relation to
the use of cell phones, digital music, high definition television,
digital cameras, the Internet, computer games, and other relatively
new products and services that have come into widespread use.
Some of these gadgets bring harmful effects to students. That is why,
parents must first guide their children to introduce them properly
the
wonderful world of information age.

Information Age has really conquered our lives and has become an
indispensable element of life especially for most teenagers. Because
of the ubiquitous availability of Internet access, children are
increasingly becoming involved in this new technology. Yes, there are
so many benefits we can acquire from these gadgets. However, they also
bring unsatisfactory influences. I strongly agree that parents must
constantly guide their children regarding their use of such devices.
They must act fast to counter the negative effects of the Internet Age
on today's youth.
I coincide with Noel's idea of the wonderful world of the
Information Age, including its advantages. Today's technology has
really made our lives easier, faster and comfier. In spite of all
these, we have to be aware of its negative side and unite together to
counter them. We should not allow these gadgets to rule over our
lives. We, humans, must not be overpowered by these latest devices.

Hi everybody,

Brainiac people have become too positively obsessed in bridging time,
space, and culture. Some things that were unimaginable in the past
have turned to be true in the present and even more in the future. Our
relentless struggle fruits into what we have known today. Let us not
forget our past for in that very essence we understand the things of
today that empower us. Now, we are empowered not just for ourselves
but, more importantly, to empower other people in our quest to better
life and, in turn, better world--where our co-existence favorably
works with diversity, technology, and humane relation in peace and
love.

Regards people of the planet earth.

Your fellow earthling,

Teacher Rey

We really should not forget the past, remember that history repeats
itself. how can we face these if we don't know what our ancestors disd
to face them. and also present and even future are just extensions of
the past, we must know the past in order to know what is happening/
will happen and why is it happening/will it happen.

I totally agree. I believe that because of their wild and creative
mind, our existence here on earth have become easier. Their innovation
and creativeness have become a key to th success of what we are now.
