Think Before You Click







            When one thing has been done, it can never be undone. Every action has it's own consequences and you should be responsible for it. Think before you click!

            With the advent of technology, one’s life is has been easy. Everyone could communicate with their loved ones using cellphones, could access information anywhere, could send resume online, could research on the internet, and could even have instant boyfriend and girlfriends online. However, despite the advantage of technologies, it has also its disadvantages because in every medicine you take it will always has its side effects. Everyone can communicate with their loved ones using cellphones but we tend to forget that personal communication is more important for it builds stronger bond between people. Everyone could access information online but people can’t distinguish the truth between lies, they believe whatever they saw on the internet and some neglect their manners when it comes to saying their opinions about some issues. Cyber bullying was always been a problem brought to us by technology, people who bully someone online never thinks about their actions could affect one’s life. There are many cases of suicide that has been caused by cyber bullying; they tend to take their lives because they can’t take the humiliation they receive from the public. Students could research their assignments on the internet but they develop this dependency and laziness within them that just copy and paste articles and works on the internet disregarding its owner. We are human but we do seem to forget to be humane.

            Moreover, teenagers are displays ill-mannered attitude online. Some of them are posting hate statuses and even fight vulgarly. Some are posting nude photos just to gain likes and comments. Fame is a luxury and not everyone can afford it. Instead of spending time with their family and friends, they prefer to just spend their free time browsing on the not so important things posted online. I understand that it just their past time but it is still important to connect to people personally rather than knowing them virtually. Spending more time on the internet is also a way of procrastination; we cannot do our works at school and will end up having bad grades. Furthermore, trusting people online is an act of stupidity; it triggers scammers to continue deceiving people to invest money and properties. We cannot even trust ourselves sometimes but why fully trust people that we just know online? That is not being on trend anymore, it is ignorance.

Our lord granted us freedom but being free does not mean we could do all things we want, there is this thing called limitation. It means you have already reached the limit and you should stop. We should be mindful on what to post in the internet because we don’t how it will affect other people and how it will affect you and your future. When one thing has been done, it can never be undone. Every action has its own consequences and you should be responsible for it.
