My ICT Experience

                 

  Hi! Allow me to share my experience about (ICT) Information and Communications Technology, ever since I was a kid i was already exposed on technology. I used to play the game called GTA: San Andreas with my big brother and sometimes with my father. Later on I discovered that those gadgets purposes were more than playing games. They are useful for mostly everything, from searching thing and asking questions that your curious about, booking tickets, to communicating to other people from all around the world and even knowing strangers. When I became a teenager, I got to know more about the Internet, it was used for searching assignments and watching videos and sometimes I ask for questions that I ponder about. After some experiences I became addicted to the application called Facebook which was under the category of the Social Networking Sites (SNS). Day and night I used it, I was either chatting with my relatives or friends and sometimes strangers. I also use it to past time, I enjoy reading stories in some pages that are fictional and some confessions. By reading those confessions I got to know more what it’s like out there in the real world. Another thing that I got addicted to was watching videos especially in Youtube and Kissasian sites. I like to watch videos in any themes and movies that have different genres. My addiction to the Internet was way out of my control, and my parents noticed it so they decided to manage my time carefully when it comes to using the computer. They told me to minimize the time that I spend on the internet and try going outside and make friends with our neighbors, but I wasn't the type of kid who was outgoing, so I didn't listen to them. However, I realized that I need to use the internet in a proper way, I need to set my perspective in the good side. And slowly I minimized and managed my time in using the computer, I only used it when it was necessary. And when I have my free time, that is when I open my Facebook account or maybe watch movies and videos on Youtube.

                               The ICT is useful to us because we are using it in our daily lives. With it we can easily access informations that we would like to know. On the other hand, most of us rely on the internet and we think that the information that is written or shown in there are all credible, but that is not true. Not everything in the internet is credible. Also, one thing that I learned during these years of using technology is that we shouldn’t rely on it that much, we should use it in a proper way, and limit your time in using the internet, because internet addiction isn’t something that is easy to neglect. Once your addicted to it, it’s hard for you to let go. And that is all of my experiences in ICT.
