Connections

He said that our well-being depended on our connection with other people. Over the past years, social media have revolutionized how we connect and communicate with others. By definition, social media are forms of electronic communication where people can form online communities to connect with each other and share information, ideas, and messages, among others. Popular social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Online Profiles

These channels make it possible for a person to create an online profile and connect with family, friends, and colleagues. We can send messages, post videos, and photos, and share the statuses of their lives and relationships. Social media enhances human connections by allowing people to express themselves, share their life experiences, keep in touch, and make new acquaintances and relationships.

Social Media Danger

However, people should be encouraged to use social media responsibly by balancing and managing the time that they spend online compared to real-life interactions, and knowing how to maximize the benefits of these platforms.

And the worst part is that these culprits are roaming freely in our streets because no one knows about what they are doing. They are hiding behind their computer screens as they wait for the right moment to pounce on their victims. They thrive in the anonymity offered by the internet.

We always say that we live in the digital age. But perhaps we have never fully grasped the meaning of this. Yes, it means we can access all the information that we need with just a click of the keypad. But it also means that our information is easily accessible to other people – people who may have bad intentions and evil thoughts.
