when:
The learner is made to accept as Gospel
truth information they get from the Internet
The learner surfs the Internet for
pornography
The learner has a uncritical mind on images
floating on televisions and computers that
represent modernity and progress

9. The TV makes the learner a mere
spectator not an active participant in the
drama of life.
The learner gets glued to his computer
for computer assisted instruction
unmindful of the world and so fails to
develop the ability to relate to others.
We make use of the Internet to do
character assassination of people whom
we hardly like.

10. Because of our cell phone, we spend
most of time in the classroom or in
workplace texting.
We use overuse and abuse TV or film
viewing as a strategy to kill time.
