Vitality of youth development I think we are all aware that we are living in the 21st century, also known as the information age, a period when information can be easily accessible through publications and through the manipulation of information by computers and computer networks. This time we are living in is characterized by many changes like never before, especially the ones that are brought about by technology and technological convergence. Now a days, the whole computer can be carried in a pocket in a form of a cellular phone; the cellular phone has all specification of a computer. It carries all Microsoft functionalities from MS Word, MS Excel to MS Outlook, to name the few. Now a days, for example, one can be able to convert a Microsoft Word document into PDF using a smart phone, a functionality that was only done by a personal computer.

It is vital for every member of the community to be informed and be always abreast of all the changes that are brought about by technology or technological advancements. It is a pity to find someone, especially from the youth age who can not use a computer or the one who does not have an email address now a days. No matter the home situation we may come from it is our duty to always seek for knowledge and search for new opportunities that are around us.

We should teach ourselves to visit the local libraries and municipal offices to find out about the developmental initiatives that are directed to the youth, and one might be surprised of what he/she may find. Unlike before, when the information was only available to only privileged group of society, nowadays there is plenty of information available at our disposal by means of Google and many other search engines.
