In this highly modernized society, people are now dependent on advanced technology. Sad, it may be, but we are living in a reality where media and technology are already digital and refined, and it is where our world is revolving around. Whether we like it or not, technology has the greatest impact on us. We expose ourselves to these technologies but is it something positive or the other way around?
The technology has a prevalent impact on my daily life, from the minute I wake up until the second I close my eyes and rest around evening time. It helped me to do my stuff in an easier way than before. It helped me communicate with my family and friends that are kilometers away from me. It helped me express my feelings through social media.
On a personal note, I am a social media user but I do not use it for inappropriate actions. With the great openness that the technology brought in to this world, fake news came with it. As an advocate of the LGBTQ+ community, I found the easiest way to promote and spread awareness about my advocacy through social media. Even though there is a lot of false information about the community that is spreading around the medium, as an advocate, I help on clarifying the incorrect stigma against the community.
Indeed, technology has its blacks and whites but in spite of the negative aspects of technology, I can never deny the fact of how this advanced technology gave great positivity in our world. With regards to these negativities, people should learn how to moderately and properly use the power of technology and not abuse it just for personal interests.
