and Information
Efficient information
managers
When you surf the Internet, you have to
remember how you have accessed certain
information quickly by using specific search engines
and strategies. Likewise, you need to store these
information effectively using bookmarking
techniques and data folders or storage such as
Google Drive and Dropbox so you can access them
again. All these can make you an efficient
information manager.
Millennials as Producers and Consumers of Media
and Information
Wise
Consumers
As wise consumers, you need to
understand the messages from media and the
Internet and how to use them when you make
important decisions. These include decisions
on what to buy from the supermarket, who to
vote for during local and national elections,
and when to go on a trip, among others.

and Information
Responsible
Producers
Since you can now take pictures, record
and remix music, or draw or paint digitally,
you are also expected to be responsible
producers. You have to respect other people's
privacy and culture, observe ethics especially
when online, and acknowledge the sources of
your information when you use them for
research and other academic work.

and Information
Active
Participants
Finally, when you equip yourself with the
information that you need, then you can now
participate actively in social and civic events.
Remember, you must not participate in something
that you do not know. You can now vote for the right
person, purchase the right product, choose the right
service provider, or call the attention of the proper
authority or media producer on certain issues.
Indeed, information empowers everyone.
