THINK, , What’s On Your Mind?

Social media is defined as any website that allows interaction. It has undeniably evolved into a powerful tool and venue
by which people all over the world share and exchange views about innumerable topics. It has transformed us into a
borderless society where connections and communications have become instant, simultaneous, and accessible to all.

Sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have become household words and part of our routine. However, one
inappropriate post can bring a range of legal liabilities and unforeseen consequences for their users. These include a
damaged reputation, negative publicity, wasted time, broken relationships, and even untimely death caused by suicide.

While the benefits outweigh the demerits, still we have to be cautious and responsible in anything that we post, share,
and propagate. Unconsciously, we might be spreading fake news and promoting cyber bullying. Posting and commenting
on social media will only be useful if we do them constructively. Moreover, we should also refrain from disclosing our
personal details such as cellphone numbers, addresses, and passwords on line. Likewise, we need to make it a habit to
log out properly. Use sound judgment in posting, sharing, and liking content on social media.

The effects of social media depend on how we use them. Our motives and purposes must be inclined towards
responsible and proper usage. Otherwise, we contribute to the world of unscrupulous users whose intention is to create
confusion, conflict and division instead of unifying the world through harmonious and friendly posts.

So the next time we see the message. “What’s on your mind?”THINK first if you response is True, Helpful, Important,
Necessary, and Kind.
