Communication is naturally essential part of our life as of
complying with the phrase ‘no man is an island’. In whatever state our
society puts in, it is crucial to interact with one another. I long for
socialization even from the beginning of my birth, hence, how much more
in times of this pandemic. It’s no difficult for me now to communicate in
further distances with my friends and some of our family members, we do
live in a real convenience, a fruit of curiosity and determination of
human’s intellect, and thanks to this tools that every negotiation I make
outside from where I live is now possible.
With the implementation of the government’s protocol,
underage like me is left stuck inside the house thus the strike of boredom
is inevitable. I thank god for fortunately having enough media and
information technology which enables me to still call and chat them who
are closely related to me. Connecting with people in media also can be
done publicly like sharing information about the recent news of our
country’s condition and it’s very important for me to be responsible of
sharing legit news to avoid causing panic for those whom it reached.
I set time for video calling my junior high schoolmates who
are also known to be my best friends. For the access, we use screen-
sharing application Google meet , we have spoken about our first senior
high school experiences away from each other and what makes the use of
advance technologies sound effective is that the presence of enjoyment
compatibility is still at hand even only through virtual meeting. I also have
one elder sister who works in Surigao City , can’t avert my worries about
her condition there while separated from us, I greeted her generally to
make sure she’s doing well. Since only my parents are allowed to go
outside, there were that time when they forgot the checklist of things that
they’re going to buy so they just contacted me to tell my brother to send it
to them.
MI technology is my apprentice during this pandemic, it’s
very important to be updated especially during this time of pandemic to
stay relevant and aware. As a responsible citizen of our country, we must
not post any biased-news or assumptions about what shape our country is
in because this will just generate difficulty for the government to handle
things but despite of this, I’m not opposed for the people to post their
thoughts on this matter, everyone must be free to share what they think,
it is not a problem as long as people knows how to distinguish opinion
from facts. If we leap back time, we certainly can’t fathom anymore to live
in the absence of these advanced devices.

1. Communication is the act of transmitting and receiving messages from
one person or group to another.
2. Communication is a process because it performs a series of elements in
order to achieve its determined goal. For communication to be effective,
there must be the presence of the sender and the receiver, when the
source encodes, the message may be interrupted by certain barriers like
noise, mood, or by the environment that surrounds them. When the
receiver decodes the message, she’ll understand depending on how well
the source delivered it, the receiver then may give an impression or
feedback and the flow of conversation may continue in a cycle.
3. The positive influence of media and information to communication are
globally- accessed information, fast - reply approach, enhanced reading
comprehension skill, and the restrain from awkward meeting. Even inside
our house we can be still be timely about the information that we have
gather. It also enables us to communicate without consuming time to go
off the place where the people we want to communicate are. We can
improve our verbal vocabulary though reading comprehension. Another
thing is that it’s way more favorable for introverts to approach via social
media.

4. The negative influence of media and information to communication are

the shrinkage of interpersonal interaction, the lack of inter social
relationship and the cowardice to speak in front of another individual in
personal. For example, we are so close yet so far with our family, we may
be under the same roof but our attention were within our smartphones.
Better be close to people physically than getting to know them through
any MI gadgets or tool to lessen our doubts of their trust-worthiness and
when having a negotiation, we must be with them in order to clarify the
deal and to carefully identify the pros and cons of our decision.

believe are the second and fourth pictures, I can just sense and conclude

viewed related to this false headline. While for the remaining pictures, I
checked it ot via Google on a legit media sources and they came out to be
just assumptions as well.

Essay Writing
Though these three were hinge with the functionality of each
other, there we’re also feature that makes them different. Media Literacy
is the knowledge to perform and use any media outlets, we need to be
familiar of how it works so that we can operate it according to our will, we
must also know to identify what information from it can be misinformed
or biased to avoid false knowledge about something. It’s wherein news
and information are being attached for us to believe and understand,
thereby it is the medium used to address information such as TV program,
internet, radio news program, newspaper, books, etc. . Information
Literacy on the other hand is the ability to comprehend information
coming from different resources. It widens our range of communication
because it will sharpen our intellectual skill from encountering words or
phrases that we just freshly get to know. It will also enhanced our writing
skills when we are equipped by the knowledge we apply from what we
read. While technology Literacy is the ability to operate technology used
for creating and presenting media information. There, we use our
advanced knowledge on electronics in order to live and follow today’s
society where everything is in assistance of advanced machine for a faster
operation.
Reflection
The emergence of media and information literacy does and doesn’t help
us to become closer to God, our Family and our nation, depending on the
situation we stand in and how we utilize it. When it comes to our
relationship to god, sometimes people especially some of the youth can’t
make it in church because of so much exposure and addiction to gadgets.
When using Facebook we can see a lot of post that says ‘if you don’t react
or share this, you don’t love god’, it irritates some part of me because they
kind of use our Lord for fame, if we truly believe in him the number of
reacts and shares online will not matter, unless such post about him have
pure and genuine purpose, then it’s acceptable.
It also hinders us to be naturally connected with our family, I witness it
from our own house and even to others and I can really compare the
times when each of us doesn’t own any gadgets at all, we were really
communicating in front of each other, I feel the string of our family that
bond us together. Since our country is a part of globalization, we can now
exchange or share each cultures and beliefs with one another, but, in most
case of our younger generation, international or foreign staffs were now
what they mostly embraced, we neglected some of what should be
customary tradition of our own nation.
Regardless all the negative effects of it, we can still utilize it in
a positive way. If we want to be inspired by the story of God, we can
search it on Google. When we’re away from our family, we can
communicate with them via messenger or any meeting apps accessible,
and if we talk about nation, we can be aware of what’s happening in our
nation thus when there’s someone in need and if we’re in privilege, then
we can offer them our help as long as there’s something that we can
provide.
