    The document discusses how the internet is the most enjoyable modern technology for the author. It allows streaming videos, browsing photos, and accessing education virtually. While the internet provides a useful tool for learning and communication, the author finds social media toxic and unnecessary. However, the author uses the internet for information and communication when needed for school. The author has accepted that they are not very social but has learned to balance internet use responsibly without rejecting the technology altogether. The proposed plan is to limit browsing to less than an hour, use online games briefly to relieve stress, and communicate with friends when feeling down.

    1. What modern technology do you enjoy most? Why?

    I do enjoy streaming videos online, and browse some photos or memes and stuff so I would choose the internet
    as the most enjoyable technology that exists. Educationally speaking, the internet serves as a tool that
    incorporates our learning especially in virtual classroom setup. This brings down the fact that amidst the
    pandemic, students were able to stay in class without going to their schools. This modern technology is a
    reliable material that can bring our expressions to the virtual world wherein the society could be able to see,
    act, and give feedback as a result of communication. This will encourage people to also share their thoughts to
    mitigate and enhance their self awareness and help in themselves. Also, the internet also serves a wide range of
    sharing information such as the news may it be political, environmental, or even social. This gives a lot of
    information to people with a simplification of actions for the acquisition of a particular information.

    2. In what sense is this technology “challenging forth” on you as a person? (Challenging forth in the
    personal context is altering what is supposed to be normal to you as a person for your enjoyment.)

    The internet challenges me in a way that I am not that socially inclined as a person. Normally for me, I am
    productive enough that I don’t rely on the internet that much, since nowadays, the impact of social media has
    become a toxic world where people do a lot of unnecessary things that they post on socmed. However, I use
    the internet only for information wise technology. Since that it is very important to know what is ahead of me
    and I could talk to the people I need and ask for help in schools for instance. I don’t normally post on social
    media but still the people would be the number one reason why the internet is altering the sense of norms for
    my personal enjoyment.
    3. Have you adjusted your ways to make #2 somewhat acceptable to you personally? How?

    I think so. Since that I have relied upon the statement “ It is what it is”. Times made us here and personally,
    this is where I should adjust to balance and responsibly think that I am capable of changing the ways in terms
    of what I lack as a person. I already accept what the contents of the internet are, but there are still a lot of
    information that I don’t want to focus on. And I think that this is just the beginning and there will be a lot of
    circumstances where the internet would be on the bad side or the good side for the people’s sake.
    4. How do you see yourself in relation to the modern technology you enjoy most? Are you still in control
    of that technology? Or it has controlled you in some ways already?

    I see myself as a disciplined person that could quit anytime to relax myself from the bad energy coming from
    the internet. Since that I can easily adjust myself and do a lot of things, not just browse so I am in control of
    the internet whenever I want to bring the best out of myself or rely on it.

    5.Propose a short plan on how you can pursue a good life without rejecting your favorite technology.
    First, I browse a little bit, maybe less than an hour and give myself a rest and do some workouts to relieve
    stress somehow. Second is that when the internet is needed, play some online games with friends for coping
    stress, but also I am responsible enough to know that it can be addicting and I would recover myself to stop
    right away and do the tasks that I need to do after. Lastly is that when I feel down, communicating with my
    friends is the best thing to do when times get tough. This is maybe the most optimized pattern or plan that I can
    consider in pursuing the best times of my life considering the internet is by my side.
