Balance of information regardless of   today’s some challenges in communication can attain if the new technology will be used properly.

Today, cellular phones were widely used and had brought great help for people to connect themselves in each other. With the aid of new digital technology, the equilibrium of information distribution in both rural and urban areas is now easy.

However,it  aids and helps mass media in many ways. Conversion  into more useful  electronic device  is not a guarantee for the real meaning of improved technology but rather it depends upon on how the image of one’s character of communicator be justified in using the new technology of information. And it  seems that they doesn’t care of the values and ethics which has something to do with the challenges beyond new technology.

World Wide Web or internet is one of the vital aspect of now emerging advance technology . For example is the orientation of language  for the convenient use of the client . The Facebook is an example which enables the user to modify the setting on his account if he can’t understand  other country’s dialect. A Filipino user may use Tagalog language if he is unable to understand English. The good thing of it is the user is in control whether he may want to expose in public or in private depending on what is his desire. Another example is the forum which  mostly conducted today via on-line. Participation can be possible even attendees  are in  different far places  who are  unable to attend personally especially when meeting requires urgency.

Everybody must aware that with this kind of technology, everything may change in just one slap or click. And if further development of technology will continue to arise in communication, time will come that someone’s privacy will be hard to keep unless he will set a password on everything he do and everything about him.
