Do you even want to be online?
Being online is most definitely different from being on social media!
Or just being “online” for a moment before “signing out” for whatever reason?!

With how these things go, you will be spied on!
You will completely lose your privilege of privacy that you should enjoy, to an extent!
There will always be that someone “watching you” from somewhere….seeing whatever you are clicking on and typing!
So, I ask again….do you even want to be online?
Whatever you get to post on the internet…be it an email or an emoji in a message
Gets to live on the internet, forever….
You may be able to “delete forever” whatever you want to delete from your social media platform or from your computer but you cannot delete something that is stored somewhere in thin air, can you now.
I ask again….are you sure you want to be here?

Depending on where you get online
Whatever you do online has repercussions…some as serious as getting you killed or getting you serious jail-time!
In some places, the internet is “switched off”, just as a light bulb switch is turned, for as long as the person who gave that order desires!
In some other places, connecting to the internet is “rationed”!

Your presence online is being used to manipulate big moments in the world today.
I am hearing financial institutions are using that to determine if you are worthy loaning to money or financial assistance of some sorts
Your outcry for help is hidden more and more from the screens of those people who actually need to see it!
Oh yes…there is an interesting one….your future employer is doing their rounds online scouring your online activity from way back, to determine how fast they should fire you!
Now, do you even want to be here?

Before you click that, “sign up” or “send” button or take up that online course or whatever
Remember that each and every click is money that those people, on the other side, are taking
How much of that money do you get to take home with you, at the end of the day?
“Time is money”, right?

Very interesting reflection on which, I admit, I have never paused.
🙈🙈👍👍
Yup you have to go into things online with your eyes wide open. It’s so important to pause and think before taking action….because a click is just too easy to execute but the fall out can last a long time and be a greater pain than you ever fathomed.
🙈🙈👍👍
I don’t necessarily want to be online, but I don’t have a choice since it’s part of my job. So I deal with all of the bad that goes along with it.
👍👍
Insightful points from you, as usual. I do ask myself at times if I want to be present online but that’s the way it is right now. We communicate online and it has its pros and cons.
👏🏿👏🏿👍👍
Yep, I definitely want to be online, because that is how I make my living. Sure there are risks, but there are also many ways to mitigate those risks.
🤔🤔👍👍
I love all these new technologies and the opportunities that they give me always and everywhere. But yes, for sure, there are some risks. Sometimes I really miss the time when I didn’t use the internet and mobile phone 🙂
😊😊👍👍
Sometimes I do social media break or at least less screen time. I bond with my friends, family or my partner. It improves your mental health.
😍😍👍👍
We definitely ned to be careful being online. Some can be really dangerous nowadays. Great tips!

Internet is indeed powerful but yes, compromising our privacy is probably one of its notable consequences that we have to bear. As much as i want to be offline, my work depends on it so i really have to stay online all the time. However, if time allows, a vacation will permit me to stay offline for a day or two. A great way to unwind from the Internet.
😍😍👍👍
This is a serious one.Apparently being online is inevitable in this era but a lot goes around.
Hihihihi,I feel like reducing time spent but it’s the way majority communicate these days,even the bosses
😂😂 okay!
We must admit that the internet plays a big role in our lives nowadays but it’s okay to reflect and be on hiatus for a while. I did that before when the pandemic hits us. I just thought that I need to be away on social media to lessen the anxiety about what’s happening around me.
