Which of the discussed trends in media and information do you
think will have the most impact or influence to people and to the
society as a whole? Why?
As we traverse to our daily lives in this modern era, where technology has been
part of our routine or perhaps even one of our needs in our everyday life due to its
helpfulness and the convenience it gives us. In addition, with the pandemic going on,
information and knowledge is a must circulated need for everybody, especially for
students in order them to be aware and grow intellectually as they are the pillars of the
future. All this leads to me having an insight which tells me that perhaps Ubiquitous
Learning will have the most impact or influence on the people and society as a whole
based on my understanding.
This thought is due to the fact that this type of learning is convenient and
ubiquitous, in simple terms, it is available anytime, anywhere as its name implies. With
social media being a common place where almost everyone, if not all, gathers in a nonphysical sense. Phones, computers, or gadgets being a common commodity for
everyone. Internet being the digital hub for interaction, communication, and
information exchange. With those things combined, learning and information
exchange would be much easier and accessible. If not deleted purposely or limited to
some people using a certain criteria like age limit, or whether it is to be paid for,
anyone could have access to it indefinitely. Easily accessible learning will help shape
and hone the future pillars of the society which is the students as they grow up to be
adults that makes the society function and develop. As it is available everywhere, it
would have a wide and large range of people to influence on, making its impact to the
society obvious or undeniable. Whatever people absorb or learn would clearly show
its effects on the society as a whole.
