The 21st Century period poses much challenge in the journey of learners towards learning. Considering the modern period we have now, we can tell that there are so many destructions that hinder young minds to learn better. Nowadays there is a wide use of technology and social media. Analyzing it, these things were originally created for interconnectedness but what happens is they turn to become barriers for learners to improve.

Modern technologies and applications have its good side and bad side. If technologies will serve as aids in learning instead of barriers, rest assured that the quality of learning can be improved. Responsibility must be a practice among the youth in the modern world. These modernities must not be isolated, they can serve a better purpose if incorporated in learning just like in research. Through the use of the internet, pupils can learn a variety beyond what can be read in their books and what is discussed in class. Through social media, an interconnection for academic exchange can be established especially during no class days. Learning goes on and becomes more accessible with such.

Exposure to these media can bring millennial pupils to greater education. Looking at it in this sense, modernity must be an advantage and not a load to pull millennials down. It only takes discipline to master the proper use of modern media. Through it millennials can be dynamic in study.
