WOOOOO So, our lives all revolve around the internet, whether we know this or not. Like, if I had asked you this, how many of you here go on Facebook or have a Facebook account with me? What? Show of hands again? How many of you here would not even remember your friend's birthday if not for Facebook? How many of you here watch YouTube more than you watch television now? See, so just by this show of hands, we can see that our lives all revolve around the internet at one way or another. Nowadays it's so easy for us to go online and find anything we want to find because of technology, everything that we want to know is there. All the information that we want to look for are online and day by day more information goes online and at the same time it becomes easier and easier for us to get these information. Like 10 years ago you will probably not be able to go online and find information as easy as you can today with all technologies today like Google and Wikipedia. Information really has been traveling a lot faster nowadays. The information that we get online are like all pulled together into this one big body that is so conveniently placed somewhere that we can just go to at the comfort of our own homes. You don't have to go to a library anymore and search for maybe even ours just to find something you're looking for. For nowadays you can just go online, type something and you're there. It's so easy to find information online and nobody is going to stop you from finding what you're looking for. There's this great freedom in the internet but at the same time we become spoiled. We may not notice it but with how easy it is for us to get these information we become spoiled with information. We stop caring about the value of the information that we're getting. It's like since it's so easy to get. It's like what's the point of, we lose the value of them. I'd like to talk about how I came to this realization when last summer I decided to create a game. This game was something that I did last summer because I was just really bored. I'm not a professional programmer. I've never had any professional training and programming but I thought maybe it would be fun if I tried it out. This game called When Big Slide, it was my summer project. I made it for the first month of summer last year from scratch and I never actually published a game but I learned a lot from making this and for me that was the most important thing about this game. I'd like to talk about my experience when creating When Big Slide. When you're going to do something nowadays, when you want to learn how to do something, a lot of you would probably do what the same thing I did. I went to Google and typed in the search box how to create an app or how to make a game and I just kept on changing the query until I got what I was looking for. Nowadays when we're researching, that's pretty much all we have to do, right? That's the same thing I did. For my first day, first few days, I was researching and I found this framework that I thought it would be easy for me to learn. I decided that, hey, this would be fun as you try it out. I spent a week or so trying to research more about this framework and I couldn't find anything because as it turns out, this framework was quite new at that point and it's not like popular software, such as Photoshop or things like that. If you go online and you want to know how to do something there, it's the first tutorial and there's instructions there about how you can do things. But for this, when I searched online, all I could find were like how to do the basics and I was just not used to being that way. So that's where I ran into some trouble and then that's when I realized that, okay, now what? Then so I tried it out. I tried researching on the basics and I tried learning a bit and so I spent a week or so trying to get grasp of these basics and I tried playing with them on my own, which is something I've really not done before. But eventually after we came up with a prototype for this game actually and when I showed it to my friends, they were like, oh, it's nice. We should progress this. We should add some more. And so online, it's like I got all of these ingredients to make a burger and with these ingredients, I was like, what am I supposed to do with these? Because normally, if I want a burger, it's either prepared for me already or I know how to prepare it already. But for this, I had no idea what to do. And then eventually, we got our burger done and we called it when pigs lie. So after that, I got my friends, we started building on the graphics and some more of the game concepts and we came up with this. So here's some screenshots for the game. So as you can see, it's a rather simple game actually. All you have to do is tap and try to maneuver this pig as he flies across the sky and eat food. And while you're up there, there are these birds lying that are trying to attack the pigs. And that was just a sheer coincidence and nothing to do with that very popular game with birds attacking pigs. And yeah, I was really happy that I got it done. I did it in around a month or so and at a really great time, you know, creating this game. I learned a lot and at the same time, at the same time, I got something done. And this where we see the value of the information that we get online, you know, it's not like the information there is not for us to just be able to get any time you want, but it's for something for us to learn from. Because people put them up there so that you can, you know, it's available to everyone. You know, when you see it, you don't just look at it, read it and that's it. You stop there. These are information that allow you to learn. Like, for example, if you want to learn how to play the guitar, what I see what most you are doing nowadays is just go online, then grab maybe some tabs or something, then play the song and that's it. Just memorize how to play the song and for them that's already playing the guitar. But for me, I think the most important thing there is how you're going to use that thing you learned while playing the guitar and maybe, you know, create your own songs, which most people are not really doing nowadays. Or likewise, let's say for all the chefs out there, if you want to learn how to cook, a lot of people would nowadays, so just go online, look for a recipe, then that's it. Follow the recipe as it is given to you and just stop there. But there's more to cooking than just that. There's a lot more that you can learn from the things that you actually see in recipes that we take for granted because these recipes are just so easy for us to get. And so I'd like to ask you this. How many of you cannot start a research paper or cannot start researching unless you go to Wikipedia first for all the students out there? God, I know there are a lot of you that go to Wikipedia at least once just to start a research. Because before I'd like to end, I'd like to ask you this also. How many of you have actually contributed information in Wikipedia? A lot less handshook. Because if you don't know, Wikipedia, you can actually edit the pages there and add your own content. Because before I end, I'd like to ask you to share what you also know. Because the things online, you only find them there because someone put them up there. It's also with you, your responsibility as netizens, to also share what you know. You can share the things that you've learned, share the things that you realize online for people to see. And who knows? You may one day be part of their own learning experience online. Thank you.
