Combating Digital Divide -A lot of people have their own personal devices already. Even kids have their own mobile phones already. There are also people who do not have personal devices. Not having one is not really a bad thing. We should be happy of what we have and be thankful for it. If we really want to have something, then we need to study and work hard.
Combat Digital Addiction - People nowadays already have cell phones, tablets, laptops, computer, and other devices. We see people walking in the streets while looking at their phones. Children these days spend a lot of time playing games using there computers or phone. Instead of playing outdoors and interacting with other children, they stay home and play.
We know that phones, laptops and other devices are helpful in our daily lives. It helps us study and learn more things but too much of it is bad. We should learn to control and limit ourselves while using these devices. We should give more time in bonding with our family and friends.
Ethical use of media and information - We are given the freedom of speech. We can express what we think, know, and feel without anyone telling us not to. Even though we have this kind of freedom, we must also think of how the things we say affect other people. We should think about the consequences of what we are saying.
The things we say might affect other people in a good way or a bad way. In order for us to avoid hurting other people, we should ask ourselves before saying or posting something. Are what we are going to say relevant? Will I be proud of it? It is important to mind what we say or post so we should think about what we say and its effect.
Cyberbullying
- We can use the internet for a lot of things. We can express what we feel and share what we know. There are a lot of good things one can do using the internet but some people abuse it. They use it for hurting people and it is already considered cyber bullying. Some post bad things about other people which in turn would hurt others. We must avoid doing this because hurting others is not a good thing. We must be mindful of what we post so that we can avoid hurting others.

Opportunities & Challenges One of the example of media and information is the social media it build a sense of community that will lead you to the higher community of the people around you and to guide you to the right direction of your company and to help many people around you. Challenges of media information is you don't know the possibilities of the web that your using and the information of the people of that web your using.

      Combat Digital Divide
         The digital divide is the gap between individuals and communities that have access to information technologies and those that don't.
         To bridge the gap of the digital divide we must create new innovative solutions to the pervasive problems of poverty.We must educate and empower the young,the old,the rich,and the poor.When this is done our economies become stronger,our advances come quicker.Our hungry eat and our sick get better.Working together on a global level we can correct bad legislation,create new affirmative legislation,gain a better use of current technologies and innovative new ones.

 Combat Addiction
            Technology addiction is not just a phase. It’s real, it’s happening and it’s spreading like a virus. So what can we do about this new epidemic, and how can we release our attachment to tech?
Here are some tips that can possibly help:
Eliminate rather than streamline wherever possible
Learn moderation and limit your use of technology; experiment with short periods of inaccessibility or electronic free time
Set time limits when using your technology
Write a “Not-to-do list.”
Make a list of things you could do instead of being on your device(s) and try to do them in your spare time
Go Green. Choose outdoor activities instead of technology.
Find your pleasure point.
Hire a virtual assistant to take care of some of your work that involves technology
Find a buddy or accountability partner to help you with your problem.
The more aware you are about your relationship with technology, the more empowered you become.

Combat Bullying
          Bullying does not always happen in person. Cyber bullying is a type of bullying that happens online or through text messages or emails. There are things you can do to protect yourself.
Always think about what you post. You never know what someone will forward. Being kind to others online will help to keep you safe. Do not share anything that could hurt or embarrass anyone.
Keep your password a secret from other kids. Even kids that seem like friends could give your password away or use it in ways you don’t want. Let your parents have your passwords.
Think about who sees what you post online. Complete strangers? Friends? Friends of friends? Privacy settings let you control who sees what.
Keep your parents in the loop. Tell them what you’re doing online and who you’re doing it with. Let them friend or follow you. Listen to what they have to say about what is and isn’t okay to do. They care about you and want you to be safe.
Talk to an adult you trust about any messages you get or things you see online that make you sad or scared. If it is cyber bullying, report it.

    Opportunities and Challenges of Media and Information                                              The internet opens the door to new information sources but finding the right information can be a challenge, writes Jay Katzen of Elsevier
Webster’s dictionary defines “breakthrough” as ‘a sudden advance, especially in knowledge or technique.’ Any researcher, however, can tell you that there is nothing “sudden” about these advances. The amount of time and energy invested to bring the thinking forward in one’s field, much less create a significant discovery, is enormous. Dedication and patience have always been required, but now new tools and technologies are becoming increasingly critical to success.

MEDIA INFORMATION LITERACY BY PETE JOHN GENOBATEN

COMBATING MEDIA DIVIDE
-In many ways the digital divide can be seen as a practical embodiment of the wider theme of ‘social inclusion’ recently prominent in policy making throughout centre-left governments in Western nations
-As part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), world leaders have committed to strive for universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020, and to ensure that women and men have equal access to basic services, including technology, by 2030 These pledges have put the digital divide squarely on the international political agenda. Yet our research shows that on current trends, we’ll only reach the goal of universal access in 2042. The largest challenges are in Africa – where just one in five people are online today.

COMBATING DIGITAL ADDICTION 
-The holy trinity of digital addiction – tablet, laptop and smartphone. I cannot imagine the daily hustle of working without any one of these. A feeling of emptiness quickly envelopes the mind whenever I am unable to access any of them even leading to momentary thought paralysis!
For someone whose entire life revolved around these digital delights, it wasn’t any less a supreme sacrifice to establish strict rules of digital engagement and even worse strictly adhere to it.                                                                      -We must put a strict and discipline use of our gadgets, doing this it minimize the urge to use our gadget
COMBATING CYBER/DIGITAL BULLYING 
-Cyber bullying occurs when electronic communications such as text messages, emails, instant messages, and social media updates are used to threaten or humiliate someone. Its consequences can be just as serious as the effects of bullying that occurs in person. Learn how to recognize and address cyber bullying before it gets out of hand.
- Cyber bullies often use pictures, status updates, and personal information they find online to harass their targets. It's fine to share a little information about yourself online, but never reveal something you don't want the whole world to know.
PROMOTING ETHICAL USE OF MIL 
-We need to share information and promote it everywhere in this world. Teach those who don't know how to use proper etiquette use on the media, share you're information,your knowledge to all mankind. The moral learning we spread.
Opportunities and Challenges of Digital Media and information

- It is an honor to share your knowledge on digital media and information, Because a dozen of  people is still ignorant about this. Though, their still many challenges we must face in order to share our knowledges and thoughts about this. I am confident we can make it a success.

Combat Digital divide

 Digital divide means the economic, educational, and social inequalities between those who have computers and online access and those who do not.
Some of us know that nowadays many people use different medias or gadgets and when technology is developing the more ignorant we are. To prevent digital divide in our society we must learn and educate ourselves about Technology.

  And also we have to help others  or assist them on how to use the technology. For example you have a friend who doesn't know how to use a laptop let him or her use your laptop instead and assist him or her on how to make a powerpoint, research and other uses of the laptop this is a simple way of helping others know about media or the use of technology.

Combat Digital Addiction

Why the teens are mostly affected by digital addiction? and why does this happen? there are many reasons of this kind of question but I will emphasize what are the answers of these questions. Many people think that they have a limited connection of social medias if they don't have any gadgets or so but they are nearly wrong because there are many ways that teens can access on social medias for example like in the internet cafe or a free data of a cellphone.

 But there are also some negative effects that some of the teens will become more abusive of the internet like watching pornography videos and others. And it will kill their lives not their physical body but mentally. And they draw attention more on social medias because they are socially depressed.

 They are some solutions to avoid the digital addiction first you have to be active in socializing others and knows how to interact many. Surround yourself to good influenced people. You have to know that friends in social media can't help you when you need some help always know that friends in real life is better than just chatting to your friend who you don't seem to know him/her.

Combat Bulllying

 Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. There are two main parts of bullying one is bullying in physical aspect and the other is the cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a bullying by the use of media like commenting negative words on her timeline, being mean to her and others.
We all have different aspects and different attitude. While we are at school bullying is the main cause why there are some people who are still lack of self esteem and insecure of themselves. We must know how can we interact others wisely in using the media and we must know when to say those words on the internet because we don't know how the person reacts on what you are saying. And what if you are trying to say something sarcastic to that person when that person is a hot headed person and gets annoyed or gets discouraged easily. We must think before we click because this is the only way to prevent from hurting others feelings.

Promote Ethical use of media and information
There are many types of negative behaviours in using the media but it is rarely important to know the right thing to do when you are using the media and information. We all have to know whether the sites are appropriate and has a good source of information. The way we interact in media is different than the way we interact personally and you dont know already that you are sending or commenting those words that the other people doesnt seem to like you when you are talking to them through social media. When you open a networking site you will have to know whether it has a privacy and you should know who is the admin of the networking site.

Opportunities and Challenges of media and information
The opportunities of media and information are the access of free information and socializing to others, the counting of voting system of the politicians through digital, research and informations through media. And the challenges are the buissness profiles of social media, socially active, netiquette, and others.

1. Combating Digital Divide

  The unequal access to computers and the Internet caused by such social and economic factors. It has become increasingly clear that the ability to use and apply digital information is one of the key skills necessary for future economic mobility. We must help each other to suppress this issue and communicate to the other people who cannot apply digital information. Technology give us opportunity to let your life new and discover new things.

2. Combating Digital Addiction
   Many of us using technology to improve our daily habits, but being addicted of social media, online games, pornography and smart phones are have a large impact on user and have a negative effect to our health, plus it affect the social relationship with the others. We need to the possible affect of "Digital Addiction". We need to considered the common society life and get more busy in other activity, that way we can prevent the Digital Addiction.

3. Combating Bullying

  There are many cases of bullying in our society, even in social media they can bully someone. base on my experience we can't suppress bullying but we can prevent it from other ways, according to Republic Act No. 10627 " Anti-Bullying Act of 2013", we can prevent ourselves from bullying because we can report them from authority. The cases of bullying is lesser than before 

4. Promoting Ethical Use of MIL

  Majority of us using social media and technology devices, but learn about MIL is the way to being learn about getting information using technology devices, acknowledging the purpose of media and information literacy is like you learning gather information quickly, so that's why we need to expand our knowledge in MIL.

5. Opportunities and Challenges of Digital Media and information

  It's a big opportunity to share your information to the others and let them know the advantages of media and information. gaining information is one of the challenges that we can get for example finding the source of the information to know that is reliable.
