“Tinood ba nga kadaghanan sa atong mga kabatan-
onan karon anaa na kanunay nag-atubang sa ilang

Kasagaran sa mga batan-on anaay cellphone.
from Gervasio Lopena: So Much YES
from Dr. Fe Marfe Jimenez: Ang school dapat dili
mohatag assigment nga need ug gadget or computer
ky mkapasangil ang bata. Ang ihatag assigment
something magamit ila creativity not using gadget.
from Yvonne Tria: Such a sad reality. These gadgets
were meant to speed things up. What’s actually
happening are, to name a few – The young are
oblivious about what really matters in life, loss of
perseverance esp at work (“job hopping” and absence
of company loyalty are rampant), heightened envy,
blinding commercialism, too money-oriented…This
can be endless.
from Betty Jumawid: Not ok. Ky daghan mga
batanon. Ky daghan mga bata na daot ila mata at

tungod kay naa ra sila naka focus ani ug wa nay time
mokaon
from Atty. Aster Apalisok Piollo: Yes, not good. No
more communication and social interaction.
from Jervie Empe: It might help their “computer
literacy” if properly guided. Since naa na ta sa
digitalization nga era, magamit siya. Need lang nato i
guide ang atong Youths para dili sila ma addicted kay
samut na ang kani nga devices gi design jud ni para
makuha ang atong attention. Proper control through
guidance would be helpful.
