Power of Internet

Whenever you have a question or a problem and it's a the moment whereby you can turn to no one to ask, the instant reaction you'll have will be, "Never mind, I'll GOOGLE it!"

The Internet now plays a very big and important role. Everyone using it must holds the responsibility as an Internet user. Everything you wanted to know was all on your fingertips. With just an instant click, you can access to everything you need to know and what you want to do.

But, it's unavoidable when people started to misuse the power of Internet. Some people changes some facts and information from the Internet, posted nasty stuff and more. There are many cases where the Internet seems to be the caused of many social issues. And most of the victims are the teenagers and, the issues were also caused by them.

the stress feeling when someone falls into the victim of internet abuse.YouTube is a place where people shared videos to everyone around the globe with that access. There's a case last year where a video posted up on the net about a group of girls bullying a girl by cutting off her hair, slapping her and pouring water all over her. The video goes viral in Facebook and it was even brought up to the media. Soon, police were brought along in investigation and charge the girls for bullying.



Another case, was a Singaporean girl who posted about her action/intention to slap her mother. This one small status update caused another viral spread all over Twitter and many started attacking the girl for something that they had just READ and not SEEN.

One more case on Pepsi and Coca-Cola company where people start spreading about an AIDS worker accidentally dropped few drops of his blood into the drinks which were distributed nationwide. Upon reading it, many had share this updates and intend to boycott the drinks.
But, little did they know how untrue the news is about. Without using their conscious to think about the blood that contaminate AIDS. The virus cannot survive outside the human bodies for some time. Thus, even if the AIDS worker dropped his blood, it won't contaminate anyone drinking it.

The advancement of Internet actually caused people to rely only on their eyes. What they see and what they had read, they would have immediately believe it, without having any second thought. Due to this matter, many started to spread fake rumours which eventually spoilt the image of themselves and affected the people they are spreading the rumours on.

If the Internet were used in a proper way, it can works to help people but if used it in the wrong way, many people can be the victim of the Internet. So, let's us all work together in building and making use of the Internet wisely.
