Gadgets: Helper

          Every month of November, worldwide celebrate the ESP Month. This years theme, "Mapanuring Paggamit ng Gadget: Tungo sa Mapagkalingang Ugnayan sa Pamilya at Kapwa." It shows that gadgets play an important role in our everyday life.  

           A gadget is a small tool such as a machines that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are electronically simplified applications that make work easy. They play a significant role in the common man’s life and we have grown so used to it that it becomes very difficult for us to think of daily life chores in the absence of machines. Ranging from a washing machine, a chimney or an electric hub, the churner or simply the television set; Instruments have invaded each and every part of our life and have proved themselves to be useful. Today we use various electronic gadgets in our daily life.

          The internet plays an important role in keeping in touch with loved ones both near and far. Raising families in today’s technology-driven society can be daunting. We hear tales of cyberbullying, sexting, identity theft, and child predators that can leave us questioning if our devices deserve a place in our family life. While the threats posed are real, we can’t rule out the many positives technology brings to the table. With intentional choices and smart decisions, we can use technology’s power to connect and strengthen our families in ways that were impossible a decade ago. Based on my research, it is estimated that 91 percent of parents are signed onto social media networks and are actively harnessing the digital age. While it’s nice to unwind with a game of Trivia Crack, many parents are realizing that technology is a convenient method to stay involved with children and family members.

          So, it is always based on how we use these gadgets. If we know how to use gadgets well, we can make our lives easier. And we must always remember that our future depends on our choices.
