    IMPLICATIONS OF MEDIA AND INFORMATION

    Improves quality of life


    No one can deny this since we've all have been
    exposed to media and information, together
    with its advantage of making life easier.
    Whenever our family plans to go to unfamiliar
    destinations, Google Maps has been of great
    help since it automatically gives the directions
    and time before arriving. Also, our family loves
    to travel, and whenever my mom sees a new
    tourist spot to go to, we immediately plan
    ahead of time and arrange our schedules to
    avoid conflict. Lastly, as a student, Google Keep
    lets me access my notes anytime on any device
    connected to my account.

    Promotes greater
    political participation
    As a first-time voter this coming May 2022,
    social media has brought political awareness to
    me, specifically Twitter since access to news
    identities has become faster and easier.
    Although not everything I see is factual, it has
    motivated me to become more information
    literate and fight against fake news spreading
    over platforms like Facebook. Also, listening to
    the radio news has enabled me to know our
    local government's pandemic response and
    other transparency issues.

    Hones individuals as
    cohesive social units
    I, myself, am an ambivert. However, the
    pandemic has inclined me more as an introvert
    due to the prolonged isolation. Though it is not
    difficult for me to start a conversation on
    Twitter threads and a TikTok comment section,
    there is an evident difference from how I
    interact personally since communicating
    behind the screen is more comfortable. I have
    created long-term friendships with people
    outside Dumaguete and the Philippines since
    quarantine season. Because we have the same
    personality and interests, we immediately
    clicked and maintained our communication
    through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or
    Discord.
    You Are Not Alone
    Watching Disney Channel and listening to my lola’s old
    radio was part of my childhood routine. As I grew up, media
    and information continued to progress dynamically — along
    with its advantages and disadvantages to my current
    generation.
    Ever since the time when almost everything can be
    done using our smartphones such as watching movies and
    series, I started to spend more time in front of my cellphone
    screen or personal computer compared to the television. I
    get to encounter success stories and posts along with
    flawless beauty standards, which led my insecurities to
    worsen. However, our generation is also known for breaking
    societal stereotypes, and advocacies concerning such all
    over the internet has encouraged me that I am not alone.
    Seeing encouraging posts boost my self-confidence,
    reminding me that the digital world can be toxic in some
    ways but there will always be a bright side in everything we
    encounter.
