21st century? This has been a cliché to everyone for sure. However, do you really know this enough? Do you really have enough knowledge to the circumstan­ces rather than the good effect that it may bring to the different aspect of your life? Yes! It has a lot of positive effect that can change your life into a better one. Yet, there are also things that can surely break your entire life. Let us discuss these issues one by one and see the effect that will bring not just to our life but also to our loved ones.

The only constant thing in our life is change. Time passed and generation­s are getting l arger and l arger but still, changes remain to everyone whatever may happen. In this generation, the 21st century, or the so called millennial for this era, i t brings good changes that makes every individual­s to have a better life and an easy living especially to the young or teenagers. One of these overwhelmi­ng effects is its help to the youth who are in school that are studying and preparing for their better future. We refer this particular­ly to what the computer or the internet is affecting not just students but also to everyone. It helps us to have an easy way to know the latest trends and important informatio­n that we aimed to be acquainted with. It gives us also an answer to every question or problem we are trying to solve for years or for just a second. Specifical­ly, what makes the computer more special for everyone is the idea that it can help or give us a chance to connect with our family or to our loved ones from all over the country that our presence and embrace can’t reached. However, these things have been enclosed and transform into negative result especially to adolescent­s. Instead of entering the classroom and spending their money for their projects or snacks, students tend to exert their time playing computer games, watching videos, and many other activities regarding online sites that are not merely important inside the internet cafe. They sometimes acquire some bad behaviors from being a computer literate student. It results to disobeying their parents or their elders just to do their routine, being an active online gamer or an active netizen in a computer world.

These are just some of the effects that the 21st century will continue giving us. I t only convinces us to always remember that nothing bad or unpleasant thing may happen to us if we only just know how to handle things and use changes particular­ly the latest gadgets including computer as well as complicate­d situations in a proper way by making i t meaningful in leading us to a better future. This I leave to you, “No one can change ourselves if we would not let it to happen.” ( Paid Article)
