"Ready Player One"

The real world doesn't matter but on the movie "Ready Player One" it depicts a VR experience that is so consistently vivid, there are no physical obstructions between the client and the virtual articles and condition. In the film, players can contact, get, and clutch things and even individuals in VR that are not so much there, in actuality. It is much like living in an era people is hiding and avoiding the real-world to avoid conflict. And hiding their real identity so as not to be judged by other people. And people on this era stop finding a solutions to a problems, and stop fixing the broken things because of no care at all. Also they don't care about what happened in the environment because they just don't have a real relationship, and they just take it for granted. Can you imagine that all? On this movie it implies the negative effects and setbacks of media and technology, wherein people chasing and finding change and on the same time coping and living up on the reality. It also shows chaos, and their is no peace at all because it is full of injustice and they valued the intangible things. Media and technology make them unproductive and lazy because they are being addicted and manipulated by technology and being blind by the truth because of fantasy. They are also manipulated by their gadgets because of addiction wherein in the first place we should be the one controlling the gadgets but on the movie it is opposite. But also media and technology is helpful to communicate and connect to other people and bridge a gap the relationship to others because media and technology help us build our confidence and it helps us improve our social and communications skills. Media and technology also helps us easy to access information that we needed especially on this digital period.

Why is the need to adapt and seek change? Why is it that we need to socialize and communicate with other people? Well, on the movie and novel I've watch it depicts that we need to appreciate the reality. Wherein Wade accepted that living in the truth sucks, and OASIS has been his approach to get away from it. He framed virtual connections that developed more grounded when he really meet those individuals face to face. Today, the connections framed in a virtual way like web-based media is excessively shallow. We need to socialize because we don't know and expect that those random people that we meet eventually will become part of our life. And also we to seek change because seeking change is also seeking for a betterment. On this movie it made me realize many societal issues like why is their a unfair relationship to everyone, why is their injustices? and inequalities? And as one of those individuals who experienced these inequalities for having a fair skin color I must say that we need to speak up and expressed ourselves to belong to the majority. And many people who experienced these inequalities and problems, lucky I am that I was born on this digital period wherein I was able to handle myself and adapting the necessity wherein many media flatforms and resources that give me the opportunity to use it and fix these problems that I experienced not only me but many brothers and sisters who is enduring and experiencing these societal issues. All I can say that, we need to help each other in order to solve these problem, and instead of belonging to a problem, we need to be part of the solution. Instead of putting others down, we need to have a helping hands so that it will build their confidence. In that case you didn't know their are some people where you have given help.

"You can help and that must be started from yourself."

Change is constant. One of those affected by the changes is media and technology. Wherein accessing to media and technology on this digital period is important especially to educational success, job, and the development of our economic system. The cooperation among individuals and PCs has expanded in the previous twenty years as innovation propels. The capacity to get to PCs and web has gotten vital for society. Shockingly, individuals despite everything needs admittance to present day innovation and the web. On this digital period digital divide is known as the gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet , and those who do not. The term "digital divide" doesn't really imply that somebody doesn't have innovation; it could imply that there is essentially a distinction in innovation. These distinctions can allude to, for instance, excellent PCs, quick Internet, specialized help, or telephone utilities. But many challenges is facing off especially to those who are at risk and helpless on this problem day-by-day. And as a student, a user of technology , and a learner I could say and notice the cause and effect of this digital divide. Some of the noticeable effects of digital divide are poverty and economic barriers that limit assets and keep individuals from acquiring or in any case utilizing more current advances.

Enable to solve these problem, community and collaborate effort is highly needed. And as a student, to decrease the digital divide gap we need to use ourselves and be knowledgeable enough to accomplish that vision. Don't think that you can't help because you are just a student but instead use your kindness and care to show emphaty to these problem. Do not always complain but find ways to help on these problems, be informed and knowledgeable enough on this trying times. You do not know that in the simplest way you do it already helps and can make smiles to those who are at risk. You can help and that must be started from yourself.

"The Setbacks of Piracy"

Piracy? Is it illegal? Can anyone do this? Before we talk about the setbacks of piracy, let's find out first what Piracy is? Well, according to Meriam it is "the unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work". From that meaning itself we can easily find out that it is an illegal doing, because it is just like you are stealing something that it's not yours. It is illegal, it is a felony to make unapproved duplicates of programming. Individuals who are seen as liable of the wrongdoing can be fined up to $250,000, and additionally condemned to up 5 years in jail. It is also risky because piracy programming is bound to be contaminated with genuine PC infections, which can harm the client's PC framework. And it is unproductive because most pirated programming doesn't accompany manuals or specialized help that is given to genuine clients. Along these lines, privateers are less inclined to determine as much use out of programming as clients who have acquired the product through legitimate channels. Furthermore, programming becomes obsolete quickly Pilfered programming is ineligible for redesigns.

How can we avoid doing this? Doing such thing like this is not good. We need avoid and stop this nonsense doing. In order to stop doing piracy, we can help by not buying illegal pirated copies, don't pirate and keep the good records by keeping the first receipt and receipt of the item, which are the confirmation that you have bought lawful programming. Moreover, consistently register your item so you can get all the specialized help and conceivable update you may require later on. We can also help by not helping others breaking the law and enforce our right in the event that you find that you may have a fake duplicate of programming, contact the seller you got it from. There are numerous online help destinations you can go to so as to report presumed programming theft. Doing piracy is not moral, it's wrong, however it's there and it's simple and there's nobody to prevent you from doing it, and never will be. In the event that following ten years and a huge number of dollars in lawful expenses they at long last figure out how to execute the Pirate Bay, there are several other downpour destinations that exist, and more will jump up. But if you are aware of the truth, it may be the reason for the lessening of the piracy case. And it will be good not only for us but for everyone. No to piracy, piracy must stop.

"Traditional Media Still Issues In The Present Advanced Age"

- Escobal, Honey Faith, L.

According to Pew Research Center “News is a part of the explosion of social media and mobile devices, and in a way that could offer the opportunity to reach more people with news than ever before.” Different types of media had different impact and plays significant roles in different ways. Print media and broadcast media or old-fashioned media and its influence on the new communication environment is amply evident. Old media are also changing over time and continually evolves. Traditional or old-fashioned media remain a trusted source for information. With regards to the news, there is not a viable replacement for a genuine, adjusted story. And keeping in mind that the facts confirm that more individuals are finding updates on the day through Facebook and other web-based media, such destinations convey data in features and short clips. Traditional media is very useful and important, even on this digital period, because these are the proven techniques that organizations have depended on for a considerable length of time. These channels can be quite powerful, and for some organizations, they represent the sum of the promoting financial plan.

Why is it that traditional media still matters and are important in today's digital age? Why is the traditional media still used today? Why is it that the traditional media cannot be simply removed and replaced with new media? Well, in other word it is because old media is not dead yet and still plays a vital role in modern journalism and in this digital period. Come to think that what if new media will eventually theorized to replace print and broadcast media? What would be the outcome? Well, in my perspective, replacing print and broadcast media into new media it will become extinct, especially now that citizens increasingly consuming traditional media via popular social, mobile and digital platforms. But this is not a mutually exclusive phenomenon, especially for older generations. Replacing it would affect in any aspect, one of this area can't current organizations renounce customary media inside and out and begin utilizing online media only to help fabricate their brands and speak with their partners? The short response to this inquiry is: No, because both social and customary media play noticeable and significant jobs in the present advertising. So, replacing old media is a big no for me. After five years from now if old media would still use along digital media there would be a big change because it is still evolving.

"Media And Government: Love-Hate Relationship"

We can't deny the fact that Media and Government is the most powerful institutions today and in our world. The common tactic in between government and media is a controlling access. So many government is setting their ground rules for the media. Some government official is giving an access by the reporters for a good press. A few years ago, Philippines had their Presidential Election. Many different news is spreading as well as many information and statements released by the presidentials and masses through media. Many are conducting debates about this Election, many are opposing, some had negative comments and statements to the Government while some is praising the Media for the information, and also vice versa. Before the election happened, different broadcasting stations conducting presidentials debates, so that people were able to know what is the agenda's of the running president. And also for them to choose and decide who would be their president.

Ever since we cannot deny the connection between media and government because without media we wouldn't be able to know what happening today in our world, without media who would notify us? who would give us news about what happening in our society if there's no media? and also without government who would discipline the people? Us? Who would take us to the right path? Conflict between media and government is inevitable but we cannot deny that we need them both. It is a vice versa that one opposes another. Yes, we are manipulated by them, we post our different perspective and opinions through social media, but we need to think also that without media their would be no transparency in the government. Media and Government is important especially now that we have this pandemic, we are able to know what are the government's plans for the people and that is because of media. "Government need a helping hand, and that's helping hand is media".

"The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate Individual"

The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate Individual helps us a lot especially with the emergence of our technology today. Information can be shared easily and faster through Media even if it's true or not. Why? because in other words most of the people around the world use media "social media" in everyday life, it seems to be part of a person's lifestyle. Why did I come to this part? simple because if you are not literate in media and information you may be innocent of the things that happened on social media, you may be fooled by the information posted in the media. But if you are a literate individual in media and information you can use it in the right way, when you read information in the media you can evaluate first if it is reliable or not, before sharing or posting it. If you have knowledge and ideas about the information maybe you used it effectively and efficiently and valued it.

And as a student it is important to be a Media and Information Literate because every now and then we used gadget especially now that were in online class. Being literate helps us access and understand the information that is posted or given to us. As a student being literate by media and information it helps me to become a responsible media user and a good example to others who used media. But before doing some decisions in posting and sharing we must think twice and be a good thinker and decision maker before making any steps especially in media because "internet never forgets". So think twice and be responsible media user.
