Technology can enhance communication, allowing for quick and convenient conversations.

Technology has also resulted in job loss, cyberbullying, and addiction. Although technology enhances connectivity, has access to information, and advancements in medical care, it can become harmful without healthy usage habits. It also changed how we interact with others by relying heavily on online information rather than personal experiences. Personally, it has made us more careful about online interactions. We're mindful of what we share and whom we connect with, whenever feasible.

Social media has significantly influenced our communication habits, particularly when interacting with others. During the pandemic, we became accustomed to communicating with people through online platforms.

Social media has transformed us into an introverted person with low confidence and self-esteem. We often self-conscious about our appearance, leading to a lack of social interaction as we believe people aren't interested in talking to us. Additionally, social media affects our sleep schedule and eating habits, sometimes prompting publicly to vent our frustrations. Because of Social Media, we became unaware of what we are doing.

Additionally, my mom cautioned against sharing too much about myself, as unknown individuals might have harmful intentions and could misuse the information we post online. Lastly, my father warned against engaging with strangers online due to the uncertainty surrounding their true intentions.
