Technology For Teens,
Good or Bad?
Technology, today became one of the elements in the earth’s that grows very
fast. Technology in this context, is information and communication.
We, as modern human, at this time is no wonder anymore when seeing people
using mobile phones wherever they are. In taxis, markets, houses, and even when
driving, people still use of their phones.
One the other hand, we see that the use of technology is dominated by
teenagers. They are very quick to accept and understand how to use technology.
There are many students from elementary, junior high school, senior high
school, and university that consistently using technology ranging from mobile
phones, computers, internet, and games.
Is technology good or bad? Technology is a group of devices that can be bad
for the development of teenager’s life.
First, many spread of information between technology devices is not
filtered anymore. Information, whether it’s bad or good, it quickly spreads
from one device to another. As a result, many teens are accessing p*rno*raphy
and even addicted to access that bad content.
Various cases of s*xual harassment, r*pe, and pr*miscuity that exists among
teenagers today, many are caused by them who are very easy to access the bad
content using the Internet.
Second, the addiction to the internet and games, makes the teens forget
that they are social creatures who must interact with others. I see many cases
where people meet at a place, but they do not talk; they just “chat” with their
friends who are so far away. They prefer to interact online using Facebook,
Twitter, Path, Instagram, and other social medias rather than interacting in
real life by talking directly to the people who are near them.
This is a contrary ideology for us, the people of Indonesia. We should
create a society that is tolerant and caring with each other. When this
situation continues, we will lose our identity. Indonesian teenagers will
grow up to be people who do not care about each other, do not like to
socialize, and do not even know the people around them.
However, although the technology has a devastating effect, behind this
sophistication developed by humans, of course, it has many good effects. First,
technology is a device that is able to increase the speed and effectiveness of
information flow. We are no longer a conventional man who must send a letter if
we want to communicate with a long distance friend and we are no longer human
being who have to wait for days to get a reply message from a friend. Nowadays,
everything became easier because of technology. We are able to send messages
using e-mail and SMS within a few seconds. We are able to chat with old
friends who haven’t met for a long time while she or he lives far from where we
live. We are able to chat with them using BBM, Facebook, Whats Up Messenger,
Line Messenger, and many more.
Second, technology is a very good business media campaign. We certainly
recognize the Internet, a medium of information that can be accessed by
millions people from all over the world, whenever and wherever they want. When
the Internet is used to promote a product, then there must be many consumers
who come to buy the product. The
marketing strategy by the Internet, is also used by teens. I find that many
high school or university students consistently having a business by using
Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or BBM. It is the impact
of technology that are very positive and should be supported by everyone. Using
the internet, a teenager does not need to have a big fund to make a business. They
do not have to prepare tens of millions to rent a place as a store.They
just need to utilize their mobile phones to sell and make money.
Technology, we know having the bad and the good effect for teenagers. To make them understand on how to use it well, as parents, we must
guide them continuously.

Why Findland’s Schools Are So Successfull?
For many years the school
system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey,
which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15 year olds around the
world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with
Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the
educational system in this small country so strikingly different from others in
the western world.
First
of all, the Finish government makes it possible for all children to attend
preschool, which comes after kindergarten. Compulsory education begins at 7.
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. They have little
homework to do when they get home. When teachers are not with the
pupils they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new
projects. They teach in teams if it helps them reach their goals.
That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries.
In
contrast to other nations teaching in Finland is a highly admired profession.
Finland selects its teachers very carefully. Only talented students go
on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to
educate its youth.
Schools
in Finland are small, at least for international standards. More than in any
other country teachers are ready to prepare children for life. In some cases
they know every pupil in their school and can adjust to them. Teachers try
everything to succeed with their pupils. Most of the pupils get additional help
in their elementary school years, either by the teachers themselves or through
specially trained educators.
