As of now, I have learned various media and information literacy skills which can
help me access information with ease using different platforms of media. Therefore, it is
an educational tool for me. However, this doesn’t mean that it can’t affect my behavior.
Of course, it has downsides for me as well. I admit the fact that as a student I abuse
this kind of skills because of having knowledge with this. I no longer have to search for
lessons through the book stacked in the library, because everything is already on the
internet now. With that, it lessens the time and effort I put in. More than that, I’m
getting lazy for the reason that I have all the resources I needed and already given to
me. And sometimes, I have lost my capability to distinguish the information I get if it is
credible and accurate. That’s why I’m also affected by fake news. Media and
Information Literacy plays a major role in my life. This is convenient for me and yet has
drawbacks. Most especially, it influences my thoughts and behaviors.
2. Among the 4 eras in the evolution of media, I would choose Electronic Media. It’s
growing in the wider range as we need this nowadays. Our life will become easier and
more convenient when it comes to information gathering. This will give the people
greater opportunities such as work-related or education. Electronic media makes people
aware of world-wide things. It is available everywhere, so people can easily use it in
every various forms. These different platforms are popular these days because of its
user-friendly features and can give people a chance to connect with each other despite
of distances. Utilizing this media makes the communication easy and enables the
participation of the people with their different perspectives,
b. Just like in education, there are also positive and negative effects of media in the
economy. Its positive aspect is that media has proven to be the most effective way for
businesses boundless to reach new audiences on economic scale. Media is more likely
to promote better commercial and industrial forms. With media, marketing allows a
business to respond to customers and make any adjustments quickly. It will deliver
more fast results and sales. More than that, it can sustain economic growth and its
stability. The disadvantage of media in this field is that it can expose a business to
copyright infringement. This can also lead to vulnerability and loss of control in some
small-business owners.
c. Media has both an advantage and disadvantage in politics. It has changed the way
that government institutions operate, the way that political leaders communicate, the
manner in which elections are contested, and citizen engagement. Its advantage is that
the diversity of the content disseminated by this has created opportunities such as the
ability for more voices to be heard. It delivers general interest news to broad audiences
involving the public. It informs the people, providing citizens with the information
needed to make thoughtful decisions about leadership and policy. This sets the agenda
for public discussion of issues, and provide a forum for political expression. Media also
seeks to directly engage the public in political activities, such as voting, contacting
public officials, volunteering in their communities, and taking part in protest
movements. However, its drawback is that some of the information that comes from
the media are unreliable and not credible. That’s why people are becoming victims of
fake news. They are instead listening to, and reading about, stories that are
manipulated to entertain, distract, and ultimately misinform.
d. Nowadays, media influences most of the people’s behavior in the society. Similar with
other fields, it has also an advantage and disadvantages of media in terms of the
society. The advantages of this are that it has rapid news sharing that will show the
people current events. It also helps to stay connected to your families and loved ones
even if you are in different corners of the world at this moment. It promotes donations
and other essential activities for the people in need. Media includes the possibility of
finding help or useful advice from people who have experienced the same life situation
as them. On the other hand, its advantage is more misinformation easily spread.
Invasion of privacy and identity theft are drawbacks of this as well.
e. Media plays a very important role in my life. It has both advantages and
disadvantages in myself. The advantage is that it encourages me for a deeper
discovery. I manage myself in an online presence and being able to interact effectively.
It connects me with the scenarios in the world and informs me in many things like
news, education, and entertainment. This gives me a way to stay in touch with my
family and relatives who live far away. It lets me share fun, interesting and informative
content with them. It enables me also to become informed, and collaborate in
innovative ways. For me, the disadvantage of media is that it is a risk of inaccurate
information and a loss of privacy.
4. As computers and technology have evolved, it would create fears that human
workers will most likely lose their job. Technology has becoming advanced and many
tasks that were once executed by human hands have become automated. Companies
have relied on machine-learning enabled systems to its production delivery during
massive disruptions. This technological solution requires a percentage of the human
team that a traditional customer care the work has. However, the surge in companies
pushing for automation and AI in the workforce doesn’t mean that large numbers of
people are going to lose their job because of this. Employers must assess which
technology is best for them and incorporate them into the company culture rather than
replace the workers they have with these new solutions. AI in the workplace also
increases the skill sets of workers.
5. If I were given a chance to introduce a new trend, I would prefer the E-paper
notepad. It will provide students with easy to access information, accelerated learning,
and fun opportunities to practice what they learn. This is also for the students who
don’t have sufficient resources to study amidst the pandemic. They can also participate
with the distance learning. This can’t only use for educational purposes. It can also
apply for work-related mechanism. The work will be more convenient to them due to
the help of this product. It is handy and able to bring this with anywhere you want even
without its outlet.
