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!

A Post About Myself

Hello everyone!!

I watch and play baseball every single week; however, I have a lot of bad experiences with it- that I have been hit by a fastball right in my head, that I was hit by a bat, that I broke my arm when throwing. Despite all these miserable incidents I have with baseball, I still love it undoubtably. Possibly, it is because the god who created me made me love baseball in any circumstances, while most importantly, family affection is the key to developing or cultivating my interests.

Another interest of mine is Weiqi, or Chinese Go, which I have been learning for ten years. Weiqi is a two-people game that each competitor needs to get as many territory as possible.(though it is way more harder and complicated than just conquering more territory.) Weiqi lets me encounter a lot of difficult situations and leads me to the right way. Nonetheless, in actuality, I am always frustrated with it due to the failures it has given me: being defeated crushingly. These frustrations allow me to face the the most difficult situations fearlessly, dauntlessly, and eventually solve them with logical understandings from mathematics.

Speaking of mathematics, it is the subject that I cherish and like the most. My dad has told me that s strong foundation of mathematics leads to success in both educations and extra activities. So anyways, he taught me math since I was five, and I believe that math is really crucial for my career.

Apart from these major interests, I like to watch Japanese cartoons, such as “Crayon Shin Chan” and “Case Closed,” play chess, play board games and poker cards, and play Yugioh cards. By the way, I love Taiwanese food to death!!
