Internet Privacy

In today’s world when we spend most of our active time on screens, the billion dollar question arises: Are we safe in our virtual worlds? That’s when we start discussing about internet privacy.

Whether it is an active Twitter account, or mere games linked with Facebook, there is always a database of information about ourselves that we share with the online world. From our name, age, photos, locations, to our choices, preferences, email addresses, contact numbers everything is on the list. Many a times we don’t even think why a gaming app requires our identity, right?

So, where is privacy? What can we do? Put an end to spending your lives virtually. Maintain a huge gap between your personal and virtual lives. Let’s all develop the habit of physically interacting with another person with a smile rather than an emoji. Try to find happiness in your “family time” instead of the attention that your family time seeks from your social media page. So what are you waiting for? Make the rest of your life, the best of your life!
