  After conducting interviews with four non-professional individuals—a vegetable vendor, a sikad driver, a tricycle driver, and a sari-sari store owner—I learned that while most of them are unfamiliar with the term “digital citizenship,” they still practice many of its principles in their daily online behavior. Only the sari-sari store owner had heard of digital citizenship and was able to define it as being a responsible internet user who knows how to behave, what to post, and how to treat others online. The other three had never heard of the term, but when asked to guess, they gave thoughtful responses suggesting it had something to do with using the internet or mobile devices properly and responsibly. All four interviewees use smartphones to connect to the internet, mostly for social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Their common online activities include watching reels or videos, chatting with friends and family, and checking messages for business or per...

  In a world of screens and endless scroll, Where Wi-Fi signals shape our role, Lives a citizen wise and kind, With a thoughtful heart and mindful mind. She clicks with care, she types with grace, No hurtful words, no hostile face. Responsible use—her daily guide, With empathy always by her side. She searches for truth in the web’s vast sea, From trusted sources, critically. Digital literacy shines bright and clear, She spots fake news when it draws near.

So here’s to those who scroll and swipe, With minds so sharp and hearts so bright. Digital citizens, rise and lead— The web needs more of your good deeds.

  Satellite internet operates by using a network of satellites in orbit to transmit and receive data. Unlike traditional broadband, which relies on terrestrial cables, satellite internet relies on radio waves to communicate between satellites and user terminals on the ground, such as satellite dishes. The infrastructure includes different types of satellites, such as geostationary satellites, which are positioned far above Earth at 22,236 miles, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which operate closer to Earth at altitudes between 100-1,200 miles, and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites. LEO satellites are becoming more popular due to their lower latency, making them ideal for real-time applications like video conferencing. Ground stations act as intermediaries that connect the satellites to the terrestrial internet backbone, enabling data to be exchanged with the global internet. The user terminals, or satellite dishes, are essential for accessing the service, with modern versions b...
