The Power of Information Technology

Recently, our country, the Philippine have been ravished by 2 destructive typhoons (Ketsana and Parma) that killed a little under 300 persons and displaced thousands if not millions of people. It basically sub-merged in water most of the area’s in Luzon. Both typhoons destroyed infrastructure such as bridges, roads, electric posts and left thousands of people homeless. It was the worst typhoon to ever hit the Philippines. It was noted that the rain being poured by the typhoon for the 1^st 6 hours was equivalent to already a month’s worth of rain.

During those trying times in my country, one can notice an increase on usage of social networking sites in the Philippines. People where Facebook and Twitter to spread information regarding rescue operations, important contact numbers, updates from the government and even those who are trapped in their respected homes have used these sites to ask for help. I have never thought in my entire life that these social networking sites can play a vital role during calamities. This goes to show how Information Technology can help to make our world a better home. Information Technology is powerful and let’s put it to good use. I say my prayers to all my Kababayans who are affected by the typhoons. God Bless you all.

"NEW YORK - The National Basketball Association is initiating new social media guidelines for its players, banning the use of web sites like Twitter and Facebook during games.

League officials sent a memo to all 30 teams on Wednesday announcing the guidelines for the proper use of social media sites by the players, coaches and front office workers.

"During games, the use of cell phones, PDAs, other electronic communication devices, and social media or networking sites (including Twitter, Facebook and other sites and services) by coaches, players and other team basketball operations personnel is prohibited," said a portion of the memo obtained by AFP.

The memo states that the ban will be in place 45 minutes before the start of each game and last until the post-game media interviews are finished.

The announcement also stated teams "are free to adopt their own rules relating to the use of electronic communication devices and social media sites and services during practices, meetings and other team events." "

Social Networking and media sites have really dominated the world right now. Almost everyone in this world has his/her own page or account on any social networking site. The big names such as Facebook, Friendster, MySpace and Twitter are dominant on the media scene and are now a talk of the town for some Pro-Leagues. I guess these sites provide distractions or may disseminate unwanted information from the teams and the athletes themselves. Remember, that every information you put on this networking sites can easily be seen by everyone with an internet on any part of the globe. But I still would like to follow Shaq’s hilarious and entertaining twits.
