quick to accept and understand how to use technology.
There are many students from elementary, junior high
school, senior high school, and university that
consistently using technology ranging from mobile
phones, computers, internet, and games.

Is technology good or bad? Technology is a

group of devices that can be bad for the development
of teenager’s life.

First, many spread of information between

technology devices is not filtered anymore.
Information, whether it’s bad or good, it quickly
spreads from one device to another. As a result, many
teens are accessing p*rno*raphy and even addicted to
access that bad content.

Various cases of s*xual harassment, r*pe, and

pr*miscuity that exists among teenagers today, many
are caused by them who are very easy to access the bad
content using the Internet.

Second, the addiction to the internet and

games, makes the teens forget that they are social
creatures who must interact with others. I see many
cases where people meet at a place, but they do not
talk; they just “chat” with their friends who are so far
away. They prefer to interact online using Facebook,
Twitter, Path, Instagram, and other social medias
rather than interacting in real life by talking directly to
the people who are near them.

This is a contrary ideology for us, the people of

Indonesia. We should create a society that is tolerant
and caring with each other. When this situation
continues, we will lose our identity. Indonesian
teenagers will grow up to be people who do not care
about each other, do not like to socialize, and do not
even know the people around them.

However, although the technology has a

devastating effect, behind this sophistication
developed by humans, of course, it has many good
effects. First, technology is a device that is able to
increase the speed and effectiveness of information
flow. We are no longer a conventional man who must
send a letter if we want to communicate with a long
distance friend and we are no longer human being who
have to wait for days to get a reply message from a
friend. Nowadays, everything became easier because
of technology. We are able to send messages using e-
 mail and SMS within a few seconds. We are able to chat
with old friends who haven’t met for a long time while
she or he lives far from where we live. We are able to
chat with them using BBM, Facebook, Whats Up
Messenger, Line Messenger, and many more.

Second, technology is a very good business

media campaign. We certainly recognize the Internet,
a medium of information that can be accessed by
millions people from all over the world, whenever and
wherever they want. When the Internet is used to
promote a product, then there must be many
consumers who come to buy the product. The
marketing strategy by the Internet, is also used by
teens. I find that many high school or university
students consistently having a business by using Social
Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or BBM. It
is the impact of technology that are very positive and
should be supported by everyone. Using the internet, a
teenager does not need to have a big fund to make a
business. They do not have to prepare tens of millions
to rent a place as a store. They just need to utilize their
mobile phones to sell and make money.

Technology, we know having the bad and the

good effect for teenagers. To make them understand
on how to use it well, as parents, we must guide them
continuously.

of the lunar month Ashvina to the second day of the
light half of the lunar month Karttika. (The
corresponding dates in the Gregorian
calendar usually fall in late October and November.)
The name is derived from the Sanskrit term dipavali,
meaning “row of lights.” The festival generally
symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. The
third day of Diwali is celebrated on Saturday,
November 14, 2020.

Observances of Diwali differ depending on

region and tradition. Among Hindus the most
widespread custom is the lighting of diyas (small
earthenware lamps filled with oil) on the night of the
new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth. In Bengal the goddess Kali is
worshipped. In North India the festival also
celebrates the royal homecoming of Rama (along
with Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman) to the city
of Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, the 10-headed
king of the demons, thus connecting the festival with
the holiday of Dussehra. In South India the festival
marks Krishna’s defeat of the demon Narakasura.
Some celebrate Diwali as a commemoration of the
marriage of Lakshmi and Vishnu, while others
observe it as the birthday of Lakshmi.

The Most Deadly Virus

What makes Ebola virus became so
dangerous is its ability to breed. This virus can
agglutinate blood cells, then this condition can inhibit
blood flowing to other organs. If the organs lack of
blood, it will cause some damages. After attacking the
blood, ebola virus also attacks other organs, such as
kidney, brain, intestine, liver and so on. Many of ebola
patients died because of kidney failure.

Very Fast Transmission

Ebola virus transmission can occur from a
contact of body fluids, blood, and all the things that
have been used by patient. Therefore, ebola patients
must be isolated in order to avoid a direct contact
with other people. The medical teams who handle the
patients also have to wear special cloth in order to

Kites have also been used in experiments. Early scientists

sent kites up into the air to measure the temperature at different
heights. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that
lightning was a form of electricity. He attached a metal key to the
string of a kite. When lightning hit the kite, electricity passed
down the string and Franklin got an electric shock. It was a very
dangerous experiment that you shouldn’t copy.
Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright
Brothers experimented with kites before they flew the first
airplane. In the past kites were used to take pictures in wars. In
World War I the Germans developed a large kite that could
transport people to a submarine. Kites were also used to carry
radio signals over long distances.

Simple kites are made by crossing two sticks and covering

More expensive kites have frames made of fiberglass, plastic or
aluminum. The name comes from a graceful bird called kite.
Kites are made in many different sizes, colors, and shapes.
A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because
air flows over and under the kite’s wing. The pressure under the
wing helps the kite lift into the air.
Kites have also been used in experiments. Early scientists
sent kites up into the air to measure the temperature at different
heights. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that
lightning was a form of electricity. He attached a metal key to the
string of a kite. When lightning hit the kite, electricity passed
down the string and Franklin got an electric shock. It was a very
dangerous experiment that you shouldn’t copy.
Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright

airplane. In the past kites were used to take pictures in wars. In
World War I the Germans developed a large kite that could
