Yolo everyone.
Internet allows us to exchange information, and we are able to communicate regardless of distance via community websites. Internet is an important creation that not only makes our life easier, but affects our local customs since people will be sharing a lot of international news or information on it. However, despite its convenience, internet is too penetrable and accessible for every single citizen, which creates confusion, unsafeness, and lack of privacy. Digital security is a crucial concept in which users should have a decent understanding on it. It is strongly unrecommended that private information be put on network; although the internet marks it “private,” it is still hackable by simple duplicity. Speaking of myself, I am a contributor of the digital society, but I rarely post things on it due to the problem of digital security. Nonetheless, I use community websites to absorb information and trade things, which boost the velocity of global interaction.
Personally, I think the real society is similar to the digital world because it is just a reflection of current humanity. People post things that happen in the world, so digital presence changes when new events occur in the community. I think the only difference is that digital society is more convenient and the real society actually makes people feel “real.” Because of its convenience, digital security becomes more important, but that results in paucity of privacy.
The creation of Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, and other famous websites are so dominating and crucial for the functionality of this society. Millions and millions of people rely on the use of internet, which shows the equal importance between the real world and the digital world. It seems that being a digital citizen has recently become a requirement of being an individual.
Lastly, speaking of the rules of digital citizenships, these are the most crucial ones- do not spend too much time using social media or watching videos because that might kill the promising future of an individual; do not use inappropriate language or share unnecessary information, and most importantly, do not bully anyone!
