REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8792 :
An Act Promoting The Use Of Electronic Commercial and Non-Commercial Transactions, Penalties for Unlawful Use Thereof and Other Purposes.
The Philippines, despite being considered as an underdeveloped nation, is now being considered as a main source of information technology practitioners around the world. The sudden surge of interest of Filipinos, especially the youths, in information technology started with the introduction of affordable cellular phones, and later, the emergence of the World Wide Web (www). Computer schools, colleges and universities offering courses in computer science, information technology, and other computer related courses has since multiplied not only in Metro Manila but in the provinces as well. This sudden surge of interest in information technology has introduced new businesses and opportunities for growth, but in the process, also introduced new kinds of problems which are rather complex, making business transactions using these new technologies risky because of reliability and security issues. Before the enactment of the Republic Act 8792, there exist no law regarding electronic crimes and fraud. The government finds no appropriate law that addresses crimes committed electronically. Lately, The Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) was created to conduct studies on how ICT could be maximized and to suggest changes into ICT curriculum through the Commission on Higher Education. This commission is currently chaired by Monchito Ibrahim.

or certain fields of consumer gadgets, technological advancement seems to be synonymous with making gadgets smaller: thinner laptops and lighter phones, as well as miniature MP3 players and the matchbox-sized television screens with which they can be equipped.
Smarter, smaller electronics combined with a consumer thirst for lighter, more portable gadgets is the major driving force behind the trend for tinier technologies. There is also the aspect of the small gadget as the status symbol; a smaller gadget signifies for some a more advanced, more expensive piece of kit.
Here we’ve collected a selection of the smallest gadgets around - for the time being. With technology getting more compact everyday, it is only a matter of time before one tiny gadget is outdone by an even tinier one.

Technology Can Help Our Social Lives
Technology helps people do everything from planning to meet for a movie to keeping in touch with a friend who lives in a different country.
When planning to get together with friends, Julian said, “The easiest and fastest way I know is to send a text message to my contact group.”
Jocelyn said, “If I want to go see a movie with a few friends I usually text message them. By telephone, you have to call every single friend one by one. But text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many people as you’d like, which saves a lot of time.”
Text messaging or IM seem to work for lots of people. But other people prefer to call. Rawaa said she made plans online with a friend to meet at the mall. “It didn’t work, we each went to a different mall. I think we should have talked on the phone.”
Situations like these make many people double-check their plans. Heather told us, “I usually make plans on the phone or e-mail to begin, but finalize details using text messages.”
Email, IM, and other low-cost methods of communication also help people maintain long-distance friendships in ways they couldn’t have even a few years ago.
