Honourable the judges
Dear excellency all teachers whom I respect
And all the audiences whom I love
First of all, thanks to Alloh SWT who always given health, blessing, and salvation for all of us. So that, we
can be here without trouble dan salvation for all of us. So that, we can be here without trouble at all.
Secondly, may sholawat and salam for our prophet Muhammad SAW who always give goodness in the
world.
Thirdly, I would like to say thank you for the master of ceremony and the people here who has given me
an opportunity to speak in front of you all by the title ‘’ How to Manage the Gadget in this New Modern
Era’’
“Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective, but it’s not perfect. It requires you to be as
flexible as you can be.” (John Phillips)
Ladies and gentlemen,In this opportunity I'd like to present a speech about the effect of advance
technology to our life. This a new era. An era where people connect each other easily. It's very easy to
talk with someone in different place, town, city, even different country.We can talk through mobile
phone if we need to talk with our parents, friends, even someone we miss out there. We can hang out
without facing them.
We can also chat through real time message by sending sms, chat box at facebook, google plus, BBM,
yahoo messenger and many other social media suplying instant text messages.Those didn't happen
several years ago. If we wanted to talk with someone, we have to visit him/her. If we needed to know
someone's condition we had to send a letter. It needed a time to do.
But now, everything is different. If we want to know something now, we'll get it in real time. Advance
technology has made it different.
We have to admit that advance technology brings many possitive effect to our life. The first, we can
connect easily and quickly to people in different places using telephone, mobile phone, voice chat, video
chat, text chat and email.
The second, we know the latest news very fast. We know what happen in Jakarta, Bandung, even in
Jayapura through news in the internet and television. We also easily know what is happening in USA,
Europe and the other countries.
The third, we don't need to ask people about something we don't know. We can ask search engine like
Google, Bing, or Yahoo. We won't get lost the way anymore because we have google maps in our mobile
phone or using GPS.
But, unfortunately, there are some bad effects of advance technology. We have to be aware and careful
of them. What are they?
The first, advance technology make us forget our real life. There are so much times spending in social
media to chat in unreal world. People begin to ignore someone near him. They are busy with the gadget.
There are no more talking in the living room to talk about life or just kidding build a warm relationship.
Everybody is busy with mobile phone to send text, BBM, or updating status.
The second, advance technology make us break the culture limitation. You know, it's prohibited to pass
through one's bedroom, righ? But, gadget make us forget the rule. We can access easily using video call
and video chat to one's private room. And, the girls and boys talk freely through mobile phone without
worrying parents anger.
The third, advance technology brings threats to life. The criminals easily know the victims and plan to do
something bad. Advance techonology is also used as a way to scam other people. Someone can make
malware or virus to spy someone's gadget to steal data. Frightening, isn't it?Ladies and gentleman,
Now, we know the bad and good effects of advance technology. We can get the good effects. But don't
forget the bad one. Once more, I tell you that we have to be aware of the negative effects and try to
minimize them so that our life will be safer and quieter.
“Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me
remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight.
Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.” — Arthur C. Clarke
That all my speech for give me if you found many mistakes the last I say
Wassalamu’alaikum wr.wb
