The document discusses how technology both positively and negatively impacts youth identity formation. While technology allows for self-expression and identity exploration, it can also push youth towards "wrong identities" by promoting addiction, laziness, and disconnect from moral values. The author argues that the positive impacts were emphasized while potential negative effects like influencing unhealthy behaviors were not fully addressed. Overall, the document raises questions about whether technology truly helps youth find their "real" identities or can instead subdue moral beliefs and push them away from their higher purposes.

This is the statement I deduce as I braced myself in the facets of technological innovations that are presented in the paper as trending and efficient looking glass in reflecting this young generation real insides. It was clearly stated in the paper through support of some tangible cases that really technology participates in the construction of our youth. It is in fact said that technology could be that seemingly inseparable to this generation. Needless to say, this implied that technologies are that vital enough which we cannot live without.
However, despite of these good effects that technologies have to bring on our youth maybe in terms of searching their identities, a specific question still lingers in my mind which was left unanswered by the authors. This is the question that given the idea, since our world today is rampantly chaotic in a sense and many people got their wrong doings at hike fractioning mostly among adolescents at the scenario, can it also be a haunting reality that this technology itself may have been, yes bringing our identities, and yet also leading us to wrong identities?
Have you ever tried imagining life loosing electricity? This is where everything is connected, the technology per se. No electricity equals no technology. Hence, would it be possible that many of the youths have also to get a brown out in searching the real them? I guess not. And this is what the authors missed. I understand that their objective is to show how technology is relevant to our youth, but to how in way, the positive side was exemplified while the negative ones were kept in the box unfairly as I believe so. Let use demonstrate this in a certain case. Say a little boy, named Bryan watches the television 24/7. If we will solely base on the papers results, our conclusion might be that the little boy is a potential addict. That is his identity. But looking logically in the other way around, could it be because of the television that drives him lazy and addict, and tags him in the wrong identity. My point is- that could not be the real identity of the boy if no technology is present. Technology drives him to be like that, it does not reveal his identity, instead pushes him unconsciously to be someone in a wrong identity.
Questions in me are just getting ambiguous yet bigger. Could this be really possible that instead of finding the replica where we ought to recognize ourselves while drowning in kind of technology we mostly coveted, we also get subdue of our moral beliefs and in the real purpose of what God has plan us to be. Let us be reminded the times when no technology is present and compare how life lived before. Maybe today is easier, but if we will come think of it. Do we still value life the same?
I do not dispute the researcher for their statistics that grants technologies embodiment to the lives of people. The only thing is that, while we are pampered of comfy means in expressing ourselves and exuberated of finding ones identity among technologies, are we sure that this expressions and identities lead us to the right way?
In the article, it was clear that the authors are persuading the readers to view and accept technology as an extensive inclination our youth can find his lifes meaning. But think of pornography, addiction, immorality and obscenity. They are also coming from the same source where we lean our hope. The effects could be real and growing, but would we allow it to consume ourselves and ultimately become robots of it. You will be the judge.
