How Students Embrace and Adapt to the Digital Era

You know, we live in a modern era where everything is depends on the technology. What is
technology and digital era is? And why do we depend on it so much? Understanding the
concept of Digital era’s important, especially for students where we do everything in learning
using the digital technology.
Digital era is the era or the time where the world has experienced development in the area of
technology. This development affects how students embrace and adapt to the digital era, such
as how they learn to use digital devices technology with the diverse personalities of students
around the world. Digital technology can only be used by who have the skills to use it.
Digital skills are the ability to understand, to use, and to utilize digital device technology in
accessing and managing the information contained in digital devices. In this era, every
student needs a guidance in order to adapt to the development of digital technology. For that,
we can start by learning how this digital technology works.
In this digital era, as students we must be experts in how to learn and improve digital skills
with an innovative and creative mindset. We live in an era of convenience where everything
can be done with technology. With digital technology we can access information around the
world very quickly to help us complete our tasks.
But digital technology also has a bad impact where sometimes when using it we lose sight of
time and become unproductive, we cannot deny that with free access and the breadth of
information contained in digital technology, we will not be far from cybercrime and the
negative changes in learning such as cheating, improver verification of sources. Coupled with
the sense of comfort generated by technological life, it has the impact of forgetting the life of
social life as a social being that affects and can damage the existing social order. Living in
online world make us lack of exercise, overweight, poor of nutrition and also break our
sleeping habits. With the increase in house internet access, made us excessive use of the
internet and technology.
In this digital world, we must know how to use digital technology that is very helpful for our
lives as students so that it does not make us addicted and lose time in using it. We can start it
with set your priorities, knowing your own potential so that the time we have are not wasted
on things that not related to our potential, know to handle you: your weakness, as a
generation that lives in the era of digital development we love being in social media so much
that can decrease the quality of our lives as social beings, last but not least, physical mental
health and religiosity, in embrace and adapt to the digital era, we can’t divide between
physical mental health and religiosity for the happiness and health in living it.
Because of digital era, our access to information has become faster, the digital era also makes
us as students more innovative and creative, knowledge also becomes wider due to easy
access to information throughout the world. Back again, as students who are very depend on
digital technology, we must be able to continue to adapt and learn on every existing
technological innovation, because it cannot be denied that we are getting closer to a life
where everything can be done by technology, as well as we as students must be able to make
updates that lead to goodness.
As a student, I also feel how digital technology affects the life of a student nowadays, how
they adapt to technology, how they connect their social life with technology and how to
respond to the digital era with all its renewals. I even found out that some students can't just
accept the quick developments or updates that are found in technology. some of them have to
learn first how technology works as a development and renewals, they don't just adapt to
technology, but they learn it first.
Understanding of the digital era is how you position yourself as a student role in using and
adapting to the digital era. By utilizing all the conveniences that exist by wisely managing the
information contained therein. When we face technology, how can we adapt to it, we must
know if we use digital technology the way that technology will give us both the positive and
negative sides.
