Are you also one of the weary ones in the complex world of social media? Have you ever missed times when we only use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social networking sites to deepen friendships and share fun events in our lives? Do you also want to regain the security of the internet? Most people feel the same way. You, me, and many others want to use social media properly. That there is no brawl, no brawl, no deception, or disinterest.

So how is the right way to use social media? Let's take a look at just a few of the ways we can restore our sanity on the internet. Perhaps through these small acts, let us serve as an example to our more extended family and friends so that we can maintain good online behavior.

1. Remember that social media and the internet are a public place

  • Anything we post on social media and the internet is public. One post can be read by hundreds of our friends. It can also be shared and reached thousands, or even millions connected to the internet.

2. Social media is a place for friendship and understanding

  • Social media was created to deepen our connection with our loved ones, friends, the community, and even society. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more, are a place for friendship and understanding.

3. Practice reading the article thoroughly and thoroughly before commenting or commenting.

  • Sometimes we get used to the instant: instant noodles, instant coffee, instant everything. Even with the things we see online, we also want to be quick and fast. So, many times we end up with a headline reaction.
    Keep in mind that it is important to read and fully understand what we see on the internet. (Warning: not everything you see on the internet is true!)

With the invention of printing centuries ago, the way people communicate has changed. The same is true of the invention of the Internet in modern times. The Internet has become a bridge to global communication.

As we navigate this “information superhighway,” we will find a wealth of information on a variety of topics.

The ability to communicate is a wonderful gift from our Creator. Because of this, we can exchange ideas and information.

Don't think that all the information on the Internet is good and useful. Search engines on the Internet are like people who are hopelessly picking up all kinds of mushrooms — especially poisonous ones — and combining them into one container.

For example, If you buy these ingredients for cooking, wouldn't you first examine them before purchasing? Search engines on the Internet use so many computers to extract information from billions of Web pages, whether they are good or bad.

We need the understanding to determine what is good or bad without being victimized by misinformation.

When using the Internet, don't be convinced to be informed by the information. Before believing, ask yourself:
(1) Who provided this information? What are the author's credentials?
(2) Why was it released? What is the motive of the writer? Does anyone favor her?
(3) Where did he get the information? Can I confirm his source of information?

Thank you

Greetings appreciated @chrismadcboy2016.

I totally agree with your way of understanding what social networks are. Most users have only become large consumers and we hardly provide quality content.

It is worrisome to see how the young population spends many hours of their time reviewing social networks just to share some photographs, but they don't get real knowledge. So all this time in front of a monitor or in front of your phones is practically wasted.

To this we must add the level of exposure and vulnerability to which we submit. At any moment, sensitive, offensive and often lascivious content can jump before our eyes without us doing anything to avoid it.

I consider that These behavior patterns that you have brought us are extremely valuable and should be disseminated so that we create a higher level of awareness regarding the use of the Internet and social networks.

I think it's a matter of education.

All best, Piotr.

Thank you @crypto.piotr your comment is highly appreciated. I am happy to see you here dropping by and yes that is the fact why people love the world of the internet because they do not know how risky is it. Because all they know is to share, comment and like. The knowing or a piece of knowledge is left behind. I have a little story about social media I have a friend and she is very addicted to using facebook when she posts some content on her facebook account with low like and comments. When she saw other post and high like comment and shared she mad because why other gets high like comment and shared what is the different my post to others post. She always competing others' posts. You know what addiction to using the internet and drugs is the same side effect the different is addicting the social media is free than using the drug are illegal that is different but the cause is the same brain damage.
