We are in the 21st century in which technology runs everything. Gadgets, transportation, means of living, and everything. Many has change because of modern technology now adays, mostly youth that you encountered has gadgets like cellphones in their hands, we cannot deny the fact that modern technology has huge impact and help in our daily lives, like for example; communicating siblings outside the country, selling online, teaching online and many more and because of this technology our works become easy and we don’t have space for difficult thing, in just a single flip of your hand everything become smooth, but what are the advantage and disadvantage of this?

However, because of this trendy technology mostly youth give importance of it and ignore the books inside the libraries and even disregard reading it, they are attached with gadgets because it gives them easier answers in their questions, like google and free basics. They got more fun using it rather than asking questions to their siblings and parents. But we should not forget that books gave us more information when gadgets are not yet present and trending so let’ s not let ourselves be slaves of technology.

There are lots of youth that amused in using gadgets, some of them skip their meals because they are always occupied using gadgets, even the command of their parents cannot be heard because of it, most of them don't traditional games with friends just like before as they prefer to play online games like dota and counter strike. We should not let the memorable happenings in our lives be easily forgotten because of un important things we do during our childhood days, life is short, we must always think positive and live life to the fullest.

The modern technology can find way to make our life changed and improved our living but, if we do not use it properly maybe it can be the reason in dragging us to become slave of it and can make our life miserable.

Modern technology has big impact also; cellphones, computers etc. are useful in finding job and even job itself by using it.

Some folks told me that youth back then and now are much different, youth before are more lively and cheerful but now moody and poker face , I laughed at the “poker face” youth has quality time in the means of gathering and listening to old stories of their folks, listening while uncles playing guitars and even singing to the song they played, laughing while eating bananas but now folks don’t have quality time with their youth because of cellphones, tablets and computers. Even prefer to talk to their age level rather than hearing the dialog of their grands. So sad of nowadays generation because of technology. They are grumpy people as well.

Why is it that gadgets can cause trouble to our lives? It can cause trouble to us if we cannot control it and without the provisions of our parents also, some parents maybe busy finding foods and means of living in their homes table that’ s why they did not supervised their children well and children depends in their cellphones because they think cellphones can replaced the absence of their parents, but the real reason is they seek care and love from them. This is one of the reasons why children/youth become slave of technology.

Everyone uses new technology; you, me, we. But we should be aware the usage of it and how to manage it, if it is for good and make our lives easier or it is bad that make our lives miserable. We should be responsible in our own actions and take the consequences of it. So that we cannot become a slave of technology.

Closing Thoughts

Therefore, we should appreciate books, by reading it more often and give importance on it, don’t get overly carried away by gadgets and always depending it nor give importance to things that surround us because life is unpredictable, we do not control fate, only God knows when our time has come.

So control yourselves, always ask guidance from above and don’t be a Slave in the modern technology. Be vigilant, be mindful and be yourselves.

I myself is slave of this technology but I used it to earn money instead of wasting my time in nonsense social medias.

Thank you for reading!

Na remember ko yung one time na nag shutdown si facebook at messenger, halos masiraan ng bait yung mga kabataan hahaha. Nagpapakita lang na sobrang dependent na natin sa tchnology that we often forgot the importance of reading books and interacting with each other.

Since I have been handling technology, I have used it to improve either my work or my family's income, I have not let myself be dominated by it, and in the same way it was transmitted to my descendants and they appreciate it in the same way. So much so, that sometimes I forget I have a phone. haha.

Being a slave is relative actually. If you're being controlled by the technology, that's when you become a slave. Of course, you can be the one in charge

I am a slave of technology too. Well, at least, we don't waste our time talking about other people's misfortunes. Instead, we use it to earn money, share the blessings with others by introducing them to these platforms, guiding them on how to earn, and more. Still, I need to control myself because I've been too dependent on technology that I sometimes failed to go out and get fresh air.

I'm guilty of the fact that I'm too dependent to technology. Whenever I search for facts, I no longer use books, but the internet. Indeed, technology will make everything at ease, but books are also important.

Yes ma'am Eybyoung you're right. The old and new generation is totally different. Today's modern generation, the people spending a lot of time using gadgets. It's really true sometimes we forgot to eat because our mind is focus only on the gadget which is really bad.

As an individual we should be aware the advantages and disadvantages of the gadgets, technologies. We should know how to balance it. Do not take it too much since it's not good also.

We have all faltered to a greater extent when it comes to the issues of using gadgets to an extent that we some of the time, forget that we haven't either had our meals or taken our baths for the day all because of gadgets
