17 days ago

The Internet has been one of those particular aspects that has seen an enormous amount of growth and has also been one of the Revolutionary things in human history It has been one of the biggest changes that our lifestyle has seen, and the impact that it has had on our lives, as well as a lot of other things as well is immense. Over the years, numerous changes have occurred in the internet landscape, which has also been a fundamental aspect of the digital world we see today.

As internet started to get more popular the online environment has been one of those particular aspects which has seen a views transformation in the recent few years as in the beginning or the early days of the internet itself it was something that had made the place of internet something that people were just checking to be much more aware about a lot of other things as well as gaining new information and having that unlimited possibility of novelty along with the very amazing aspect of being connected to many people across different platforms.

But today in the modern world the internet landscape is very different as it has become a very dangerous place because of a lot of factors and it is not suitable for everyone now because the things that happen over there is going to be causing much more harm then been something that could have had some positive outcomes attached to it which is why many people are trying to stay away from internet as much as they can and one of the biggest reasons has been the toxicity that you can find across any social media platforms.

All of the digital domains that are available right now have a lot of such interactions that make people feel very much scared of as you would find a lot of toxicity and harassment across almost every social media platform and many of them are done by anonymous methods which is granting a lot more power to those people who want to involve themselves in these unethical activities and in the end of the day it is impacting the victims.

Today the internet stands as a marvel of human achievements but at the same time all of these factors make it a place which needs a little bit more kindness within itself and a much more inclusive environment which it does not have right now and it is one of its biggest flaws as well but we need to understand that all of this is going to be starting from an individual effort as no authority would be able to completely make this thing correct as all of these activities are been done by people itself and if it is understood at an individual level then things will improve.

One of the biggest problems with Internet is the ability that people have to be anonymous as it is something that also makes them a little bit more aggressive as then know that they are going to be subjected to no kind of consequence with that which is something that is not true but in most of the cases it is the reality apart from that people are also getting much more decensitized with the usage of social media and internet as a whole because people are not even thinking about the actual human behind the post but looking forward towards just the screen that they are thinking about and they don't believe that there is a human behind the post that they are doing whatever they are.

The digital culture needs a very massive renovation in its regard of the people as they should be looking forward towards normalising kindness and looking forward towards been compassionate in the online world because it is something that is always going to be a very good aspect to be a better human and there should be something that would be promoting all of this behaviour on the internet which is going to motivate people to do it as well and not be so much rude.

They needs to be a little bit more stronger moderation in all of this aspect because the internet is something that is very much a vile environment as anyone can be bullyd over here and that is not even checked properly and a lot of the cases go unreported as well which is something that is promoting all of this behaviour and all of this is what needs to be kept under control by strong moderation which can be a good solution in this particular regard.

Public awareness is also something that should be much more promoted and things like showcasing empathy online and a lot of other aspects should be something that is taught to young kids and also through many social media campaigns as well which is going to be highlighting the impact of not so good behaviour on the internet cell on people who are the victims which can evoke very strong emotions and can change the culture as a whole.

The internet itself has a lot of potential within itself as it has been already or Technology achievement for us which has a lot of things that it still has to be done but at the same time the people who are using it needs to be a little bit more inclusive and thinking about the ways with which that using the platform and creating actual bonds with people with the correct use of Technology should be something that must be a thought in our mind rather than looking forward towards bullying and other unethical activities.
