"Closing Thoughts on Media and Information Literacy"



                   In our time today, everything just moves so quickly without us noticing it. From papyrus, we have digital writing now. From walking barefoot, we have plenty of mobiles and transportation to ease our burdens and to make our life easier. From going house to house to disseminate public information, now in just a click, the whole world can know everything. The fast innovations and digital evolution really made us equip and complacent about what we have right now.






Technology gave rise to different inventions that swept a lot of traditional ways. Now we have a lot social media platforms to communicate and share information around the globe. It also served as an place where anyone can express their thoughts and opinions about something. It can be a source of living for some, like doing or posting blogs and vlogs that can be interesting for some. But, despite the fast and rapid change in our society today, people tend to be very expressive and sometimes it goes beyond borders. 









               In this generation, young people like me must be media and information literate. We must have the talent to analyze, critique, and create media and information. Today, we can't trust everything on the web as we can't trust anyone in this world. We must be able to analyze and understand media and information if it is real and not fake. Fake news nowadays are very invasive in the minds of children and also the youth who doesn't know the real situation. One can be a victim if one does not filter and check what he or she can access in the internet. One must also be able to create media  and information. It can be in any forms like music, video or blogs. Today, information is not limited to a single frame and medium. There a lot ways to create media and information that can be trusted. As a future media influencer, being media and information literate is important because we can access, organize, evaluate and create messages for the future generations in variety of forms.


Here are some tips for me to become a better netizen:

1.  Think before you click. Never post something when you are angry or desperate. In that way, you can control your feelings and not post something that will hurt others online.

























2. Reduce your time in engaging in the internet. It is good to be able to know the world by engaging yourself literally. Have time to relax and enjoy the things in life.





3. Always remember that you are not the only one in the internet world. You must be careful and anxious when lingering in the web. You can't trust anyone. 







4. Control your thoughts and opinions. Remember, you are not alone. 





5. Spread posivity and happiness. It is good to make someone inspired and happy when they see your post.

Everyday






              "Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere (Levithan,2012)."




                Everyday is a young adult romance and fantasy novel. It was written by David Levithan and published on August 28, 2012. Everyday is about the story of A, a person who wakes up occupying a different body each day. A doesn't have a real name, nor a precise gender or sexuality. A just inhabits a body just for 24 hours and wakes up the next day with another one.A never inhabits the same body more than once. A has his own memory but were also able to know the memories of the person he is in.That is the life of A, like everyday. 

             The story starts when A woke up in the body of Justin, a teenage boy. At school, A meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon, and feels a unique connection to her. Based on Justin's memories, A can tell that Justin and Rhiannon are having a hard time in their relationship. So A invited Rhiannon to the beach to comfort her. A just felt something special about Rhiannon, and told her that he is not Justin on the beach, that he is A.

             Rhiannon was able to know the real situation of A and understands him. Everyday they would meet and A is in a different body. A would sometimes be a man, woman, child, and old man. Rhiannon understands the situation of A, and realizes that a relationship with A is just completely impossible even if she wants to. 



            My favorite character would be A. A is so helpful and positive towards the people he is with even in a short period of time. A can adjust with other people ,specifically people with different personalities. Moreover, when A met Rhiannon, he was more vibrant. He find ways to meet up with Rhiannon even if it's hard for the both of them. I can relate to him because even if he is different, he was still able to embrace himself and tell Rhiannon his true self and identity, and I like that attitude.


           I think I would not change the plot of the story or even the characters, even though he and Rhiannon did not work out. Everything happens for a reason, and I believe A will find the answers Someday. 




                Everyday comes with a sequel Another day and Someday. Everyday is also a  2018 American romantic fantasy drama film directed by Michael Sucsy and written by Jesse Andrews,
