We had our last shot to facilitate our required seminar for this semester last February 26, 2011. Though some things didn’t turn out so good because of the major financial problem, nevertheless we gave our best shot to accommodate our speaker who’s fresh from Bohol (Thanks to our marketing topics professor) and to everyone who came.
I was assigned to give the rationale for the seminar so I think I have to post it here before my files get crashed and I have to format things. I hate reformatting the pc or any hard drive that contains files that are necessary.

What do we call this new genesis that’s eating our world today? This is called the Facebook generation. Ask anyone irregardless of age and they have a Facebook account, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of the said social networking company and currently the world’s youngest billionaire.
At present, there are 500 million active users in Facebook and close to a billion photos are uploaded every month and 60% of users stalk their EXes. What a fun fact.
Accordingly most of us would spend time in front of the PC stalking anyone we’d stumble on the news feed, doing nothing, and probably forgetting our homeworks due to Facebook exploration.
NOT SO NICE.
So today, since you are here, we are going to find out what can we just do with the internet aside from killing time with Facebook and wasting our time surfing the net for nothing.
This seminar would hopefully gear us up with the technology on the rise in the business world. We should be creative. Competitive. Innovative. Considering all these accelerated technologies in almost every aspect of business from operations to customer service, the internet is ultimately crucial. We should not allow the internet to use us. We, ourselves must know how to use the internet wisely.
WISE in a sense that we should not just leave Mark Zuckerberg earning billions of dollars because of us; we should also know how to make money online and transact businesses virtually. There are a series of benefits that the internet has only that we don’t know how to use such.
This search engine optimization is just one category that could open our minds about earning electronically. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. Do not worry if you are not so skillful when it comes to computers or the internet.
I salute you for that. Because today, this talk will teach you some skill you never learned inside a four-walled class room.
I will miss you guys. See us all marching on the 2nd. (that is… IF WE ALL PASS HAHA)
