Implication of Media and Information to an Individual and the Society
Background Information for Learners:
Media and information have an overall impact to individual (personal, professional,

educational) and to the society (economic, social, political, and educational).
It helps every individual and the society to cope up in the fast changing and
challenging world. Every individual needs to be media and information literate for
him to engage in a digital society. One needs to be able to understand, inquire, create,
communicate, and think critically. It is important to effectively access, organize,
analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a variety of forms.
A media literate person can decode, evaluate, analyze, and produce both print and
electronic media. Emphases in media training range widely, including informed
citizenship, aesthetic appreciation and expression, social advocacy, self-esteem, and
consumer competence. (Aufderheide,1992 as cited in Koltay,2011)
Everywhere you go, you see all forms of media.
From the films that you watch to the books that you read, you see different images
and messaging being relayed to you. Even the Google articles and Facebook posts
that you browse each day continue to dominate people’s lives around the world.
The same is especially true for Filipinos.
With the advent of social media, Filipinos have also become drawn to the platform,
especially in a day and age where Facebook, Twitter, and other social media
platforms have taken over people’s lives. According to We Are Social, Filipinos hold
the record for spending the most time on social media in 2018. Along with the
constant reliance on social media comes the risk of misinformation, fake news, and
disinformation.
This is where the need for media literacy comes in.

Learning Competency with Code:
Discuss the implication of media and information to an individual and the

society (MELC12 –Q2/Week3)
Activity 1. Read the news feature below taken from the Philippine Star- Lola Techie
urges senior citizens to be IT Savvy
(https://www.philstar.com./other- sections/news-feature/2014/06/27/958884/lola-
techie-urges-senior-citizens-to-be-it-savvy-/amp/)
MANILA, Philippines-Local television personality Tessie “Lola Techie” Moreno is

urging senior citizens to use information technology to spread their “elderly wisdom”
especially among the young.
The information and Communications Technology Office of the DOST (DOST-ICTO)

has tapped Moreno to give talks to senior citizens in various barangays in Quezon City
as part of the celebration of the national ICT Month 2013 with the theme “Inclusive ICT
for a Smarter Philippines”.
As part of its program, the DOST – ICTO through the National Computer Institute
(NCI) is conducting basic computer literacy courses specifically designed for senior
citizens. The program focused on communication tools particularly social media, such
as Facebook, Twitter, and Skype.
Moreno, a 71-year-old grandmother, known for her role as a computer-savvy lola in a

series of television commercials and viral videos with local telecom operator Bayantel,
told the elderly on how they can improve their lives using IT as she shared her real-life
experiences in learning how to use technology, and how it has made her to be more
productive despite learning how to use it at an advance age.
In her talk, Moreno said that there is a next generation of the elderly who are
catching up in the use of ICT.
ÏCT can open up opportunities to enable us to use our collective elderly wisdom to
contribute once more to society,” Moreno said. “Through ICT, we can warn the new
generation not to commit the same mistakes again as we did in our time, offer some
solutions by actually showing them how, through our loving example, and advocate for
reforms through social media, blogging and email campaigns.”
For Lola Techie. The availability of “Skype” breaks the barrier of distance in talking
face-to-face with her children and grandchildren.
Yet Google helps her in doing important research. While Facebook and other social
networking services like Twitter, Plurk and Multiply keep her connected with the
digital world.
According to DOST-ICTO Undersecretary Louis Napoleon Casambre, by empowering the

members of the society, ICT as a true enabler has given Filipinos the tools to realize their
dreams and has helped them achieve financial independence.
