Children and cyberspace. hmm.
I know someone who loves to...
* use the internet
* play online games
* watch videos on you tube
* play psp all day long during.
He is only 6 years old and he's my nephew, Pavel. He probably knows more sites, more games, more everything online. Nagagalit siya kagad sakin pag uutusan ko kasi daw matitigil siya sa ginagawa niya, eh nag-iinternet lang naman siya at naglalaro. It takes a while when you try to get his attention when there’s a computer near him. Lalo na pag may tutor siya, he can’t wait to use the internet, minsan pag gamit ko pa, sinasabihan pa niya ako na bilisan ko. Minsan nawawalan na ng respect sa nga mas matanda sa kanila kasi un ung nakikita nila sa internet or tv. Ung mga pinapanuod nila or nilalaro kahit cartoons pa yan minsan hindi na appropriate sa age nila, puro violence and pinapakita kaya nagagaya nila.
Haaay. What cyberspace can do to kids talaga. Children would prefer cyberspace than to use books for researching or doing their homework. Eh nung time ko pa-uso pa lang ang internet kaya books lang ang madalas na ginagamit pag kailangan mag-research. But for the children today, parang tinuturuan sila maging tamad ng cyberspace kasi with just a click away, lahat ng kailangan nila, nasa harap na nila.

If you were given a choice to either make use of books or to use the internet for research which one would you choose?
I guess it's no puzzle that more would prefer the latter. :)
Humans constantly seek faster ways of doing things. Maybe it's not that kids are becoming lazy. Maybe there's just not much things to do after they find what they're looking for since they already have all the information they need on their monitors. Unlike books na hati hati ang information. You need more effort just to get the same amount of info. :p
I find that books are better than internet info pero kung wala talaga mahanap na book e d internet para faster. Mahirap na dinm akahanp ng book these days wala kasi malapit napublic library.Kung sa school library namn mahirap din. nahihirapan kasi ako dun.
I scuffled trough high school by using the internet for researches and performing up a lot of "copy-paste" things. I agree that books for me seems more credible to that of the internet anyway it is the same written metter except that they have different apparatusses for inferring information.Not everything online is credible and can be considered true so I use the printed things.
