play.

2. Media is changing the world through…

Media has changed the lives of modern society. Nowadays, social media has become a
major part of numerous lives through countless websites and apps, and people have
been able to connect with others and share their thoughts, emotions, experiences, etc.
It’s been able to provide a source of entertainment and shopping, and many businesses
have even found it useful for promotion and marketing. At this point, social media has
had such a huge impact on society that it seems like people couldn’t live without it.
However, with these advantages, social media has also had a number of disadvantages
that have affected our lives. This includes the result of major problems having to do with
mental health issues, insecurities about one’s self, and addiction.  
[WHAT CAN I DO]
1. The internet as a tourism support
The internet can empower local tourism through social media sites. It can help develop
tourist spots. However, the internet can also pose issues or problems to local tourism.
Some examples of these problems are dishonesty and bad review. In order to maximize
the power of the internet to promote local tourism, we must strengthen the rules ang
security.

2. Cyber Libel
The internet can empower freedom of speech through providing new means of
expression. It can have positive developments in sexual harassment. However, the
internet can also pose issues or problems to online speech freedom. Some examples of
these problems are false statements, unreliable sources. In order to maximize the
power of the internet to improve online speech freedom, we must let the readers reach
their own conclusions

3. Human Trafficking
The internet can make communications and job applications for internet users. It can
help develop media literacy. However, the internet can also promote human trafficking
by reaching out and emailing potential victims. In order to fight human trafficking. We

[WHAT’S NEW] ACTIVITY

1. Which ones already exist?
All of the advanced technology shown in the picture already existed. From the headphone,
earpads, speaker, laptop, watches, mobile phone, keyboard, mouse, microphone, and even
camera; all of them improved the development every single year especially we’re in the 21st
century where advanced modern technologies are relevant.

2. Which ones do you think might become a reality next year? Explain.
High-tech glasses. The "Smart glasses'' refers to a device that brings with suitable technology a
computer screen/display in front of a person's eyes in order to present data from the
background information system High tech glasses can be a reality next year because it has
similarities on smart watch but instead of watch you can access all in your mobile phone using a
smart eye glasses.

Smart glasses allow you to view information, listen to music, make phone calls and more,
without even taking your phone out of your pocket. You only see this in movies and maybe next
year you might experience these high-tech glasses.

3. Do you think these technological advances can make a communication in life better?
Yes. Communication makes life better and improved by technology. Many modern forms of
electronic communication have emerged as a result of advances in technology, such as social
networking, websites and videoconferences. With the rise of mobile media, time and distance
have become less of a barrier to communication.
 4. What problems or issues can they solve?
Based on my own thoughts, for those searching for a solution to their problem using technology,
or better known as YouTube, here you can figure out or study for what you want or need to do
so that you can understand.

5. What possible issues can you foresee with these technologies? Explain.
Too much focus on automation, phishing sites, data privacy, mobile security, fake content, these
are the future problems you can expect with technological advances. We will become more
reliant on technology. If we put too much reliance on technology alone, I worry that it will make
us less human or distort our reality. We don't take things at face value anymore; we are moving
away from making judgements and decisions on our own by using our senses and thoughts. If
we rely too much on technology, it can affect our health. If technology advances too much, a lot
will change in society.
