What is Media?
......Media is a means of communication. It is the strongest manmade that can influence people. An example of this are: television, radio, computers and news papers are different kinds of media. Through this high technology, our life became easier and we can do many other things with the help of this technology. Media technology like cell phones is very much important in terms of communication. Computers are of help for students to learn many things without even found some difficulties in researching. And also, through the use of this media, their grammars and spellings will improve.
Of course, if there are positive effects of media to people, there are also negative effects too.
And these are the following:
- Makes people lazy.
-Makes people dull.
-Sometimes, it can be the cause of quarrel among lovers.
- Can be use for cheating.
-Can be use for illegal jobs.
-Can be use for stealing.
What is the contribution of computer technology in media?
-computer technology is an example of media, since media is a means of communication, and computer can be use for communication. So, it really contributed a lot to media technology.
How media affects education?
-education now a day is very much affected by the new technologies that we have. Through these technologies, the attitudes of people have change, most especially the students. Their thinking about things really changes. So, since the attitudes are changing because of these new technologies the education also is affected. In that the teacher has to find way to meet the needs of students. And to know what aspect the students are interested.

Realization/reaction about the movie “HAPAG NG PAG-ASA”:
I was touched upon watching the movie. Because the movie is really true and it really happed in real life. I felt pity to the innocent children who suffered so much because of the sins of others (their parents). I realized that we have to be thankful for all the things that we have especially for the gift of having a family. Because I saw in the movie that if you have no family to support you, life will be more difficult.
Relate “HAPAG NG PAG-ASA” in terms of education:
I can relate the movie “HAPAG NG PAG-ASA” to education. As students, in our studies, we can encounter different problems in life that sometimes we thought that we cannot survive in it, so we decide to give up. But I do believe that in every problem there is an answer to it. So, I should say that trust in God is the most important.
