Accuracy and Responsibility

     There’s no doubt that technology has already affected the human life in various way. Be it in a positive of negative way, it truly made an impact to the whole world. Numerous technological advancements save time and make things easier, but some make people lazy. It may come in  forms of appliances, softwares, and even gadgets. And among these, gadgets are probably the most famous. But what exactly is the purpose of a gadget?

     Gadgets, sometimes called gizmos, are known to be technological objects that perform a specific task but is often thought of as a novelty. These help us accomplish daily tasks in a shorter amount of time than expected. It can be found in the kitchen, in your room, or just in front of your eyes.  Yes, the phone you use to capture photos, your Nintendo Switch for gaming, and the laptop you use to finish all your requirements are all examples of gadgets. Gadgets are sometimes means of communication between family members or friends. These allow us to interact and talk with other people. 

     But with accessibility to these gadgets comes responsibility. In order to avoid its negative effects, we must use gadgets the proper way, and not to harm or bring other people down. We must be responsible in using it and not to use it against others. Gadgets are meant to help, and not otherwise. Let us use famous gadgets such as phones to connect, to interact, and to keep in touch with others, especially family and friends.

     This year’s EsP Month Theme, “Mapanuring Paggamit ng Gadget: Tungo sa Mapagkalingang Ugnayan sa Pamilya at Kapwa,”promotes the proper and responsible use of gadgets. Let us celebrate this month with that in mind!
