#9. Living quietly. What will happen to the world if there was no sound?

    First and foremost if there was no sound then all living beings who have the ability to hear on our world will lost their sense of hearing. Making the sense of hearing or having ears useless (Because if there was no sound at all then there was no vibration or pitches being detected by a hearing senses).

    But there are some good points in quietness.

Your other senses will get enhance. No more bad words and noises. Making all the people more physically fit because if you want to convey something to someone without verbal communication, you've got to use nonverbal to send a message just in case you can’t write a word or text to someone.

    There are going to be a lot of disadvantages if there was no sound; less communication, no music, no song, no alarm clock, less warning when you’re on the road, some animals that rely on sound to communicate will surely be in danger, and making the world a boring but dangerous place to live in.

Every story can have pictures to make it more appealing to others. Depending on how you perceive the idea of a picture can change the story of that picture. Also it depends on your own perspective of how you see the picture. Whether it’s good, bad, beautiful, ugly, meaningful or just a lame picture.

#6. What makes Multimedia click? Why is it such a big trend?

    Multimedia: that really fits in our Age of Information. First is that it helps us to make it easier and faster to convey information such as text, audio, images, animation, video, and interaction. The interaction between a human or a human who use computer to communicate.

     Multimedia was always a big trend in many ages since the time when text was used. The Multimedia application like PowerPoint, video games and cinema was use for presentation to show evidence that the fast growing technology was really convenient for a lot of people. People using Multimedia in commercials, entertainment, fine arts, education, journalism, engineering, industry, mathematical & scientific research, medicine, document imaging, disabilities, etc. Making Multimedia a big part of people daily lives.

      The 21^st Century invention and discovery will have an effect of how the Multimedia will become. The developing technology and new discovery will change the way how we use Multimedia.
     So, why is it such a big trend? Because a person simply wants new information to satisfy their needs and be inspired (disregarding the effect of it, whether it’s good or bad). Others used Multimedia in their job to earn money or to have a job they used Multimedia for the information they want to get or to convey. People don’t realize that they use Multimedia in their daily lives like it was a hobby. The internet helps how far the Multimedia had become; making lots of people in different parts of the world shares information and discussing a single content; making it in demand for curious people; and for people who just want to go with the flow and copy what others do.

#4. Philippines: Are We All Wired?

     

     Philippines connectivity through internet really helps the people to communicate easily. Sending and receiving information even from a really long distance and in more convenient ways than what we used in the fast where the internet didn't even exist. Now today, there are a lot of places who have Wi-Fi or local area wireless technology. Some connection in the internet is good but some is really slow depending of the location and how many services it can take. But how fast does the internet we have as of now? Are we really updated? How fast does our internet compared to other countries in Southeast Asia?

                                                        

     As of now, the Philippines (2014) have the slowest internet speed in Southeast Asian region. Philippines only have 3.5 Mbps compared to Singapore (65 Mbps) the highest rating of internet speed in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong in East Asia that have 77 Mbps!? We are really falling behind from our neighboring countries when it comes to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The ICT is really important substance or key ingredient of the government and economy. The country’s ability to adopt technology to make it easy for country economics development. 

#3. Internet Usage in Asia

    The internet in Asia is booming as of now compare from the fast years, thanks to the technological advancement of communication. Many countries in Asia have so many Internet users using device like mobile phones. As the population in Asia grows, the people not using internet are decreasing while internet users are increasing in numbers. In Asia it seems that Philippines have less internet usage compare to Japan but not lesser than the other neighboring countries in the Philippines. And the number of population affects how high internet usage in the area and the economy also affect how high internet usage; if the economy is good then internet will get in-demand. 

#2. Coping with Power outage & Calamities through Communication & Technology

                             No battery, internet, call or text but there is always an idea.

     First you need to know what condition you are in if there is a power outage or calamities. Communicate with your neighbors and gather information about how the power outage or calamity will have an effect on you. The more friends or neighbors you have; the better! “Starting with good information gathering and doing some ways to solve problems regarding power outage and calamities”. Doing some list of what you have to do is good too, to know some alternative if you don’t have electricity, drinking water, food or even gadget you need to contact someone far away. And start conserving your own supplies is a must. That is why it is better to be prepared for an emergency and having good cooperation with others can prevent accidence occurring; like if there is a live electrical wires after the power outage happened, people are at risk of electrical injuries. Having a contact with authorities regarding the danger the calamities will have is really recommended.

     For some people who lost power because of power outage or even the effect of a calamity tends to use power generator as an alternative just like what my family do, we use electricity to power the motor pump to get water supplies from under the ground. So having no electricity is a big problem for us and others, but as long as you can think of ways to come up and pass the challenge the weather and the environment will give you; then you don’t have to worry. Cooperation & direct communication with others is an example you need in coping if there is a power outage and calamities.
