Gen Z is the people who are born between 1996 and 2014.  We the Generation Z are born in a much digital era, technologies surrounds us it helps in shaping our lives.  As a Gen Z person I admit that we almost spend all of our hours surfing the internet, we use it in many ways it can be for school purposes or even just for entertainment.  We the Gen Z, we didn’t rely on our parents that much maybe we want to be independent maybe because the technologies that surrounds us helps us in many ways example is that we can earn money using the internet. Since we are in digital era spending almost all of our time in the internet does not bring any good in our body. Internet may brought bad effects in our self, we think that all of the things we see on the internet is always good but the truth is it is not. Many Gen z are having suicidal thoughts the reason is that they they focus their self on the internet to the point they do what they think is right, others see it as their comfort zone so everything they see on the internet they feel like they need to do it also because they wanted not to be left behind on the trend. Cyberbullying also one of the problem of the Gen Z  they make fun of other people, they like to post everything that is happening with their lives even the small misunderstanding they post it. So in order for us to be responsible we must learn how to control ourselves, we must learn that not everything we see are not worth of our time, We must learn how to discipline our self, in every click there is always a consequences so before we post something we must think if it will be beneficial for all or it will just be against others.  We also need to have time management in using the internet we should spend more time with our family, if we have problems then seek for their guidance.  

Today, everything can be done in one click. From posting a picture, telling the world you're upset, reserving a movie ticket, buying a dress online to transferring money from one account to another. Anything is really possible to be done with the technologies we have in this generation. Many are amazed, including me, with what can be done with limited resources and creative minds. Generation Z are pretty much blessed with all of this, making their lives easier. They are particularly comfortable with using technology and internet since a young age. In line with all of this advantages and use of technology in this generation comes a great effect on our lives and it is very important to know how to manage this tech-savvy age. The question is, how can I be a responsible Generation Z?

To be a responsible Generation Z, you must know your limits. Yes, it is a great advantage that we can do literally anything with the internet using only our phones but not all of the things we have done can benefit us, in fact, it can also affect us in negative ways. For example, sharing our thoughts and our everyday ways, can make people we knew, knew whatever we are up to but on the negative side, we also give access to anyone to know our whereabouts. And from that, we can put ourselves in danger without knowing it. Technologies brings us so much comfort in our lives but little do we know that these comforts can be turned into harm. Limits in using technologies does not only end in the way we use it but also on the time we consume using it. According to studies, a Filipino uses his/her mobile phone for an average of 9 hours per day and that is a very serious matter. An individual must have a have discipline to control his use of technologies and it is something we must develop on ourselves.

Technologies does not only affect us physically but also socially. Due to our too much usage of internet , we forgot to interact on the people around us personally. We think that technology helps us communicate but the opposite happens. We talk less, we interact less and we communicate less. As much as we wanted to use technology to make our lives easier and better, we always ended up having the opposites of the results we needed to achieve in using cellphones. They say we can be more productive as technology's one of the things we knew can helps us in our task but the result is become a less productive person scrolling on different social media sites 24/7.

This tech-savvy generation does not only become physically and socially less efficient. Many are also becoming mentally-ill and seeing themselves as a failure because of standards that the society setted. The more we check on other people online, the more we envy their success, their lifestyles and from that we start to compare. That is something we must control. That is what we need to focus more. It was very hard to prove yourself in society that doesn't appreciate your efforts. And what is more alarming is people throwing hates on everyone online. It's like hating becomes a mainstream for everyone. We must be responsible of the word we throw online .

As a conclusion, I must say that to be a responsible Generation Z, we should always check ourselves first. We must start disciplining ourselves . Make use of our time wisely, be responsible on words we throw online, limit the information we share on social media and don't forget to interact with real people in the real world and let go of your cellphones for sometime and that what makes us a reponsible Generation Z.
