1. The Button

I push the button. Suddenly, graphic illusions came out. Different colors, bold
letters and unfamiliar pictures of something appeared instantly. I just did not know those
things. Not really.
When I was a kid, I used to notice things that were called latest, or just simple,
new thing. Some people were using it in their everyday life and they stated that these
new things helped them a lot. Well…I just did not understand what they were telling me
because my thoughts were too young to absorb everything.
Now that I am already a teenager, living in a very modern world, I do remember
the movies I had seen in my young years. The robots, high powered gadgets, automatic
equipment, and voice activated machines-I thought that those things could only be seen
in movies but I proved it wrong.
We are now living in a highly modernized era. For the past years, newly designed
and high tech materials from other countries have been promoted here in the
Philippines. The trend of modern gadgets spreads so fast.
Have you ever seen a five year old kid browsing pictures in his Facebook
account? Well…it sounds funny, isn’t it? But, it is definitely true. Digital equipment
greatly affects the human brain especially those with young minds. Almost all people
here on earth know how to operate digital equipment, even senior citizens push buttons
to type messages and young children swipe screens to play games.
Modernization is now all around us. High technology equipment is embedded
anywhere. Then, we should be able to know how to use those so called high tech
equipment to benefit ourselves with aid of digital technology. Let us not be afraid of
learning something new and let us also encourage everybody to be a part of digital
literacy.
It may be concluded that this modernization would also bring disadvantages, but
let not evil desires use it to affect living things, specially human race.
I pushed a button. Suddenly, graphic illusions came out, and I just knew what
those things are.
