Once we had an interview via mail with a mother who wants to become an audio transcriptionist.  She does not have an experience as a transcriptionist, but she worked as Legal Secretary for 7 years.  She thinks that her typing skills would be an advantage to the this position.  She is very much willing to be trained to become one. 

We all know that in our modern world, media has been a powerful tool when it comes to communication.  In the past years, media has made communication easier as messages can be easily sent to anyone may it be of any form such as broadcast (television and radio), and print (newspaper and magazines).  Through media, people can easily be entertained and informed as well.  Having mentioned that media has been a powerful weapon, we cannot also deny the fact that innovation of technology has contributed much to whatever we have right now.  Innovation of technology is one of the reasons behind the changes we are experiencing in contemporary world.

As technology continues to improve and innovation is much apparent, social media has made its way to be a part of communication.  In fact, through social media, you can easily access anything you want and do whatever you want.  Through Internet, you can easily talk to a loved one, keep in touch with someone, update people around you, watch a movie, listen to music, play a game, and buy anything through online shopping.  As what they say, nothing is impossible with Internet.  As social media continues to evolve, change is unending.

I say this because I am a witness of how things changed from way back then to present.  One example is related to education.  Before, I used to go to school every day because I had to be physically present in class discussions.  That’s how it goes.  I need to be physically present because of the surprise quizzes, graded recitations, activities and seat works.  I had to be physically present to submit personally my home works and projects.  I had to be physically present to talk to my classmates, to ask questions to my teachers, and to explain my side when something is wrong.  But now, everything has changed.  Through Internet, I can answer my quizzes, submit my home works, activities and even communicate with my teachers and classmates.  Nowadays, teachers doesn’t have to go to school as they can just email their students in the same sense that we don’t have to go to school as we can just wait for announcements through email.  What I’m trying to say here is the value of going to school physically is slowly losing its essence because of the changes in our world, particularly in technology and social media.  And the sad thing is, future generation might not experience the things people in the past had experienced.  Soon, maybe there’ll be no more schools since everything can be learned from the Internet and kids have to stay at home in front of their computers or gadgets.  Kids might not have a healthy and fit lifestyle as computers and gadgets will take them away from exercise and physical activities.  You see, all these and more are because of innovation, technology, and social media.

Another example is the usual advertisements we see on televisions or posters.  Before, we can only see advertisements when our television is on, or when we walk along streets and roads.  Because of changes mentioned above, advertisements are everywhere, even on Internet.  What’s worse is: before, we can only view a certain advertisement when we click it, but now, we are forced to see it even we don’t want or need to.  Through YouTube, this is possible.  How?   When we click a certain video, an advertisement will play first and you cannot skip it until a portion of the ad was played already.  This is a smart strategy I must say.  Whoever thought of it was genius, seriously.  In 2013, the most successful ads were the ones played in YouTube.  Now, advertisers may spend less as they can just do this and not pay for airing fee for televisions and radios.

Much has changed already because of innovation and technology, and I know that more changes are about to happen.  As a student, I hope that these changes although most are for convenience, would preserve the practices I’ve had long time ago as nothing could be better than going to school and experience how is it like to be a real student.  As a future media practitioner, I hope that innovation and technology will be used not just for convenience, but to share and spread truth and fairness.  I hope these changes would help the country and the world become better by being united.

Explore more. It is true that there are some things that you would love to try doing that you haven’t done in your entire life. A skydiving maybe or mountain hiking, or just simply eating dishes you can’t even pronounce. You don’t need to think if somebody with you will share the same interests as you would do.

Knowing yourself. If you hadn’t tried going by yourself, now is the time that you will realize that spending the time alone can give you more time to know some great things in yourself.

New acquaintances. If you are the outgoing type, this trip can give you the chance to meet new friends and get to learn new things from them. Being alone can be more approachable compared to being in a group. It would be nice to talk with folks you meet down the road, but just be sure to be extra careful to know if the people look and feels dangerous.

Savoring time. Deciding to have some relaxation like taking a spa longer than you want will not burden a companion if you are alone. You don’t have any obligation to anyone but yourself and won’t even waste the time waiting for your company in whatever he wants to do that you won’t enjoy either.

If you’re a fanatic of soccer and are planning to attend the 2022 FIFA World Cup, then you’d better not go to Doha just for the sport or you’re just plain crazy. Aside from the affluent sports cars and the towering skyscrapers, there is a whole lot more to encounter in Qatar’s metropolis. Here’s a few.

The first thing to do upon arrival is to grasp the subtlety of the fusion of deserts and a city. Ride a dhow cruise, a local boat typical in the Indian Ocean, and ferry across the Doha Corniche during night time to witness the urban lights of the metropolitan. It seems that it is not so popular for the visitors to do the dhow cruise yet in Doha.  I should have done this when I was in Qatar.  Also, if you fancy the majesty of deserts because of the movie ‘Aladdin’, then a desert safari far from the high-rises is ideal for you.

Because of the rapid modernization of Qatar, the Arabian lifestyle is steadily disappearing. So how can we still experience this? Fortunately, at the heart of Doha lies the more than a 100-year-old Souq Waqif or ‘standing market‘. It’s an open marketplace which sells distinct local products such as spices, clothing, pets and etc. Watch out for its occasional art galleries, festivals and concerts!

The historical Persian Gulf surrounding the city has been a prime melting pot of civilizations for thousands of years. The Museum of Islamic Art, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art and the Qatar National Museum will take you through the evolution of Qatar’s politics and culture.

Lastly, the most astonishing feature of the topography of Doha is the Pearl. It is a land reclamation effort for residential and tourism purposes and is situated on the coastline of the Persian Gulf.

Blogs contain delicate information, of great importance based on how they are exposed by the manner of expressing the proper terminologies for clarity and understandability.  The author therefore must be very supportive of his views and messages with education as its major objective.

Definitely, take the example of the students using the computers. The gadgets hands unto the students the latest and most informative topics toward the enhancement of their knowledge much more their abilities.  However, once the explanations in the articles are not so well-suited, the readers will misinterpret the contents and take negative ideas.

Blogs may create a wrong impression among readers or the articles may construe an opposite meaning.  This is the reason why they are simply written for ease of comprehension.

Blogs present reality.  They originate from reliable sources which the writer encounters, frankly written, yet, never to insult. Like as said that computers were invented for everyone’s benefit, it states that computer operators and parents must cooperate so that young students’ time and money are spent for the information they extract from the Internet, a few minutes for relaxation but never devoted to a maximum playing of games. Nobody oppose Internet but this may pose a hindrance to education once improperly used.

As regards the Samaritan deed of sharing, when the more fortunate could not partake, even ordinary citizens are capable of doing.  Despite changing generations, humanitarian acts never vanish.  This is the importance of man to his fellowmen; that no man could live alone towards survival.

This is how blogs work.  They are important in enhancing the interests of the readers to make them hesitant of why things are being done …. what they are all about… that once they find these right, they accept… once wrong, they reject.

In this manner, readers will be trained to analyze issues that puzzle them, and find solutions to arising problems. They compose the importance of blogs - the topics to be read, to be understood to ease difficulties, to entertain, to be more knowledgeable in weighing things and to attain best outcomes.
