REFLECTION 2 - WHAT I GOT FROM "PROMOTING HEALTHY USE OF GADGETS" PRESENTATION

After discussing with my friends about promoting the healthy use of gadgets, I got a lot of

things from this discussion. Like the definition of gadgets, the history of gadgets, why everyone

needs gadgets, and the good and bad impact of gadgets.

The first thing I got from this discussion is the definition of gadgets. The gadget is an absorption

word taken from English which, when interpreted as a small electronic device with a special

function and undergoing renewal. Gadgets are identified with novelty elements that

differentiate them from other electronic devices.

Second, I know about the history of gadgets. When we talk about the history of gadgets, it

means the same as discussing the history of mobile devices. Initially, the term handphone

was not known because the communication tool at that time was still using cable

intermediaries or using radio signals, namely walkie-talkies or walkie-talkies. At that time, the

telephone device was not fully called a gadget because its use was still relatively difficult at

35 pounds. Then in the first and second generations, the phone was modified so that it was

lighter and already used a mini antenna to pick up radio signals. Entering the third

generation, the operating system on mobile phones was introduced such as Android,

Symbian, and Java. Since then, internet users have been introduced and the function of

mobile phones has begun to be similar to that of PCs. Meanwhile, when entering the fourth

generation now, the term smartphone that uses 4G signal technology appears.

Third, I know why everyone needs gadgets. Gadgets are evidence of technological

developments and their existence is also considered important. Many people feel anxious if

they are far away from gadgets. Therefore, gadgets are needed by many people. The

reason why gadgets are needed by many people is that gadgets allow us to make

contact, share information, and communicate with others. And also gadgets can store photos,

site links, and other personal information.

And the last one I know about the good and bad impact of gadgets. First, the good impact of

gadgets make it easier for humans to communicate remotely, ease of getting information,

media entertainment, and personal data storage media.

And then the bad impact of gadgets are traffic accidents, physical and psychological health

problems (excessive anxiety, trigger finger, vision problems, digestive problems).
