  19. For educational use and social use, and not so for too much to use. If people were to argue what about transportation and securities, well everything is good but in moderation. HAHAHA

    We are actually blessed that we live in a generation where technology exists. It is made with the purpose, helping us save time. Not spending our entire time to it. We must know our limits and become more responsible for here, everything connects. Students will become indolent and practice procrastination that would result to a negative impact in school and even in our health. We must be responsible enough to use it properly as we were being taught to be so. Nice Blog!

  23. Everything is good if you use it in a positive way or bad if we use it in a negative way.This is one of the greatest problems in this growing technological world. Children use internet to see adult content rather to search for educational websites.This practice influences their character badly. Their moral values were forgotten. They are the country's future. They have advanced mentally beyond their age
