We all have got a lot more engaged on social media than in real society. Internet is undoubtedly a benefit for many things like communicating with anyone across the globe, reaching out to new people & talent, developing & presenting your skills, growing your market, online payments, selling & purchasing, surfing, and a lot than the mentioned things. We all have witnessed the importance of the internet in this lockdown period. Where everything was brought and began on social media platforms that use the internet as key access.

Many physical businesses and shops got shut due to the unexpected & uncommon covid-19 pandemic. And for fulfilling the quench of basic necessities, people with their amazing creativity & consistency made their way of earning through the internet. But along with all these advantages, there are many crucial drawbacks also. Online bullying, spreading negativity & hate comments, stealing someone’s data, misusing & misleading someone with their personal information, giving threats because of speaking or presenting something, playing with one’s emotions and the list goes on…!

This all can also lead to a loophole in one’s mental health. Effects of cyber-trafficking include Anger, Isolation, Humilation, Depression, and many severe mental problems also. We shall realize that the internet which has got invented as a boon for humankind shall not be drastically converted into a curse.
We all need to prevent poking in the privacy of others. Today, the second day of the second week of the second month is celebrated as World Safer internet day to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people and inspire a national conversation., and we all hope to have a safe & Serene space for social media.
