In this activity, I learned that media stretches out from even pre-colonial period through word of mouth with the help of ‘umalohokan‘. Colonizers was also helpful in the Philippines as they brought new forms of media. Although it also has some downfalls in the time but on a longer run it is still helpful (i.e. radio, print media). There was also a time in the Philippines that media was silenced and manipulated – in time of Marcoses, but right after Marcos’ regime independence and freedom is placed. Until now, there may be some manipulated news and forecasts but it better be for the betterment of the country.
This is one of our project, it tackles about artificial intelligence – the advantages and disadvantages of it. I learned that artificial intelligence can cause problems such as catfishing like in the Obama’s manipulated speech. Artificial intelligence also helps people to have easy access and protect their data with the help of facial recognition and finger print scanner. I learned that artificial intelligence can easily fooled (i.e. using the finger print of the victim without their knowledge to access personal data or using their pictures on a facial recognition device). Using artificial intelligence can also be risky but helpful in the same time in protecting personal identity.
Be Responsible, Know Netiquette, Know Facts.
Being responsible on your posts, comments and opinions especially on social media is essential. Taking accounts on your wrong doings is much better than not acknowledging it. That’s why knowing the netiquettes is important because it opens up for more questioning before publishing a post or a comment. On the other hand, sharing posts could be a double edged sword because it could either be reliable or fake. That’s why knowing and being literate about the information in the surroundings are significant.
