New literary is a big help not only for students but even to adults, not only for studies but also in work and/or everyday living. This helps us to gain more resources that we can use for an easy and faster work. But although there's a lot of advantages this new literacy give, there are still a lot of disadvantages.

Now, I would like to share my experiences before I reached the point of being part in New Literacy.

If you gonna ask me on what subject I hate the most when I was in Highschool, then I would say ICT or Information Communication Technology. Sounds funny for those who are media literate, but yes I am so weak in media information that time. I remember my classmates, they are so excited when it's our ICT subject, as we always conduct it at Computer Laboratory.

There is a time that we need to make our own gmail and I don't even know what tab to click, fortunately some of my friends are computer inclined so it's them who made my gmail. Since I'm so slow in this subject, even memorizing my own email and password is hard for me; imagine I can memorize all the terms and meaning in our science subject but I cannot in my gmail. At last, Before our school year end I made five different emails.

Another one during my Primary, I was like 8 or 9 years old that time; I don't have any knowledge about gadgets, although I know how a computer looks like. I was chosen to be one of the representative in a school level orientation about ICT Program.

It's already the day of orientation, we go to the event place and fascinated how beautiful their building is. Me and my bestfriend keeps on looking around until both of us are the last student who enter the computer lab. When we enter the room, all units are already occupied, so the speaker told us to go in the next room. You know who's in there? All their staffs and workers, they was like "oh hi, no more vacant computer? You can use the unit of Ma'am... " I'm so shy that time, until the speaker start to discuss, and he also said "After this orientation, we are going to test the ability of these students to use the computer" something like this. So what I did, while he is bus discussing, I keep my eyes on the keyboard and memorized all the letters.

After his discussion, they conduct a game for every student; one game is to finish typing the paragraph before the time's out. Because of my adrenaline rush, being nervous, using my both my index finger, I am one of the student who finish it first. (yeah, sometimes being nervous can help you too)

For students, New Literacy give more knowledge about sites and applications that can help to improve and make every work easier On the other hand for higher levels, new literacy helps to build their skills and knowledge. A way to enhance their ability to know or locate information that is pertinent to every topic that their teachers are discussing. This give competence when it comes to critically examining material found on the internet, just like identifying reliable resources for assignments or research. This means new literacy improves student's way of learning; by this the more skillful and knowledgable students are, the more good future it will become.

As I observe in this pandemic, not everyone can access the internet, not everyone are able to buy gadgets that they can use for learnings, which leads an effect for those students to struggle, that instead of enjoying their studies, they end up knowing nothing. While for those who can access easily, they/we are vulnerable to online scam or any unreliable resources which persuade us to believe.

Overall it's in our hand how to apply the benefits of new literacy, just we need to bear in our mind to "think before you click"


Thank you so much to @Niazi420 for renewing your sponsorship. Hope you had a great day. GOD Bless! Btw, about your question, you look good. Thumbs up:)

I couldn't help but laughed out loud at the test you did where you memorised the whole keys and used only your index finger to keep typing 😂. I just made a mental image of you doing that right now. That's what nervousness could do to us.. Glad that you are now very proficient with the internet.. I can't even count the number of emails I have righ now. Lol

I remembered my high school that is the first time I open a computer hehe, then I cant get off myself when the teacher tells me that wrong press of its keyboard it will explode lol. Well honestly I don't enjoy my computer subject in High school even in college we don't focus on that, I am also self-thought when it comes to PC, I knew some classmate of mine really cant even fully understand the computer lol.

I don't know what would happen to me as I have zero interest in this subject. Though you were not interested in this subject, you were able to pass your examination with flying colours which proves your intelligence.

My dear friend, it is clear that you were an intelligent girl, even if you weren't interested in computer skills. Today, the world of technology, the Internet and computers can be as harmful as they can be useful, and it is up to us how to use them. I just hope that those who don't have access to the Internet will be provided with these facilities soon.
