For Family, Through Gadgets!

Science is the reason why we have technology. And technology makes our lives easier and faster that can be innovated by each one of us. Gadget is one of the products of technology. The smartphones, tablets, computers are examples of gadgets.

We are in generation Z wherein people are depending on technology and we pay too much attention in using our gadgets that we almost forget our daily tasks. Based on a study, most of the population swipes at a gadget equivalent to 20 times around the world a day. We are too attached to our gadgets and to our social media accounts. We connect to other people in social media through the use of our gadgets and of course through the aid of the internet. We can’t deny the fact that we are hooked to our gadgets and we became addicted to it and cannot even resist it.

The Filipino- Values Month celebrates this year’s activity with the theme: “Mapanuring Paggamit ng Gadget: Tungo sa Mapagkalingang Ugnayan sa Pamilya at Kapwa.” The theme itself says that we should use the technology wisely and use our gadgets to communicate and interact with other people especially with our family. We should know our limitations in using our gadgets and at least have time for our family. Prioritize our family and friends rather than wasting our time playing online games using our gadgets the whole day.

Let us keep the warm communication between our family and friends. Be responsible user of gadgets and to be more careful in using it. As Patton Oswalt once said, There are times when I have to take, I call it a 'silence bath,' where I shut off all of the external gadgets. I go walk around, talk to people, and just live life for a while.
