The internet is a great innovation, and it has transformed how we do things today.
TechTip on GBCGHANAONLINE we suggest is the best without leaving out that internet is worldwide.
Internet is a global system of interconnected networks of which one become part of that system immediately one uses a mobile phone, a laptop or any device which has access to the internets.
Whether one is using the device for playing games online, watching videos on YouTube, reading news on online site, buying and selling on the internet , tweeting and posting images on social media sites just to mention a few ,you become part of this global system of interconnected networks which means you are part of the internet.
Although, we bought the phones, laptops and other devices with internet enabled with our own money and we claim we possess those things does not mean we own the internet.
Today, people are on social media writing and tweeting without having a second thought of what they are putting out there. These days, people engage themselves in sexting (texting sexual content) without realizing its implication.
It can be a big problem Mainly Youth nowadays, willingly and ignorantly show so many of pictures and videos on social media, with the thought that is fun, forgetting what is yet to come.
Youth show images of themselves in different styles. Some just take those pictures because friends want them to. Without knowing the impact of those pictures in future when they become prominent person, remember oppositions, friends, and haters are going to show you what you and your pictures and videos are like.
88% of “private” sexual images posted to social media are stolen and publicly posted on porn sites without the subject’s knowledge.
And also can affect your personality to be, one day.
Careful choose your words careful on those platforms. Do not ever think am writing what I feel like writing.
The phone is yours but the internet is not for you alone. You can be in your private chamber but the internet is for all. You always do not know who is after you.
One thing we should hold serious is pictures and videos of us we post on social media with the thought that is fun and cool and that is how the world is moving. Yeah that is how the world is now. The world now needs information. And now information and data is the key.
One may think this is just a video or a picture with friends, let me just put it there.
Particularly, is a very nice opportunity if your work is to upload images for fans and get your income? At techtip we think is great.
Addition to that, one can just take a video or picture with families at school, or workplace and instantly share on social media.
Just take time and imagine, if you are friends with this kidnapper on social media. What are you showing? And to that these pictures and videos can be stolen.
Criminals use social media to engage in criminal activities. Robbers know when you’re away from your home, know you are out with your children and stalkers get information about your whereabouts through our so called social media.
Taking pictures or videos showing your rooms. Some people are interested on what is behind you and not you. Taking pictures and videos and posting them on the internet is your lifestyle then is cool. Do you know companies are out there on the internet looking for your text messages just to predict what people like nowadays?
Do you know companies are out fetching images and videos for their work?
You pictures and videos can also be used for fraudulent activities. Yeah someone can build a new life on online with your images and videos you give regularly.
At techtip we tell life is full of its own problems and worries and do not add one yourself with just a picture or video you took. Stay watchful. You own your phone but you do not own the internet but you are part of it.
