Techno-vancement: A new-born age through English Proficiency

Have you ever wondered how our world would be like if there was no common language that all continents and countries could speak? Have you ever tried to imagine a world that cannot understand each other? Yeah, I also though of the same thing.

English. To put it simply, English is like the governing body of the whole language system of our world. From London to Tokyo to New York, you can hear the English language. Through having a common language, we engage in communicating with other races. We engage in learning about each other. Through english proficiency, we learn, we hear, we understand.

How can it affect our digital literacy? Well for one, if you don't know English you cannot operate an electronic device very well. What if the device (ex. cellphone) would show you the message "optimized charging" and you understand it in a way that it is not charging. It becomes very confusing. Even computers use the English language for one simple reason. For the convenience of being understood all around the world.

Through time, we have adapted ourselves to be more social, through the internet, through social networking sites, such sites are Friendster, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Blogger and many more. In using the internet, we also need to know how to understand English. For most of the time than not, web pages use English as its mode of communication also. It does not use Ilocano, or Pangalatoc, or Bisaya, it uses one language, English, the universal language.

Being English proficient doesn't only affect our way of understanding the English language. But also by communicating to other people. Nowadays, it is a must to be English proficient and digital literate. If you want to apply for an office job, you need to know how to operate a computer and to speak to your clients in English fluently. If you are working for a Call Center, you need to be good at English as well as using technology.

In a way, we can simply say that English proficiency and digital literacy work hand-in-hand in synergy. With combining these two powerful items, we can create something far better than what they can produce separately. They can produce communication through technology. We currently live in a digital world where we depend on these digital objects more so than not.

Through digital literacy, we advance, through English proficiency, we understand, through their synergy, we communicate.
