Empowering Young Minds #Blog Entry 01

Hi! You might be wondering what this blog is about. But remember that in our intro, if you had visited it  I have said that this blog is about Media and Information literacy so meaning this would be informative and might as well focused on technology and the ones who used it during this generation the "Millennials".The generation who grew up on personal computers, tablets, smartphones and apps. 

So, its not a wonder that this generation have been transforming and has always been inclined to technological advances. But how are this thoughts going to help empowering the said generation known as millennials, If the number one hindrance of experiencing the empowerment of young minds are also the technology and media that we are exposed to right now. 

And because of that I decided to give my own opinion and perspective through the art of "blogging". Even though I know that for us younger generation "blogging" is not a good platform to be entertained or to invest additional time and effort, instead they would prefer to head on to YouTube, Facebook , Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms on their phones.  

Of course, millennials in all parts of the developed worlds are on this bandwagon. Why Bandwagon?

It is because its a natural tendency for humans to copy one another, even without realizing its meaning we like to be updated and still be part of social communties. So when we notice our social circle is doing the same thing or like "were on the same page" we tend to follow and go with the flow for it seems like everyone are doing so, might as well try it also that's the idea of bandwagon.

Let us say that the concrete example of this are the commercials or advertisements that we encounter in our everyday lives.

Now that we have known the negative side, let us find out the positive side of it. Even though we live in unconventional times and no one understands this more than the millennials. Many of them still see the positive side of technology or media in modern world. However because they all have mobile devices which they use as entry-points for entrepreneurship and opportunities like online shopping.

Either way let us not forget that it is extremely important to know who and what affects our generations. Its natural to have different opinions on the millennial generation and  what they are going to mean for our future because whether people will like them or not, they will still be our future. That's all for today! Have a blessed Monday everyone. Please stay tune for more updates on our blog.
