Living in the "computer age" has rapidly become a necessity for our daily lives. The Internet has become the most rapid source for knowledge, interaction and even exchange of ideas and services.
The internet has created opportunities for our services and ideas to be exhibited to the world . Simultaneously , the Internet and social medias have become an arena for people to gain fame, glamour and attention even at the expense of defaming the character of others.
Our desire to be recognised globally have bred desperate and cruel people who would make spiteful comments on sensitive matters or even ignite conflicts just to get attention and fame. We may not necessarily support the view we are portraying and may not even understand the concept we bigotly support yet we vehemently refuse to correct our socially wrong concepts.
Sharing our views and ideas can be beneficial to the existence of mankind since we are all different in our own ways and inventions & innovations have been developed from controversial ideas. This controversial thinking were only accepted because they were evidence based and had positive influence/impact to the human development.
Ignorance has been the main cause of some nonchalant attitude and demeaning words people indulge in just to be known and associated with. Before we make suggestions, comments and judgements, we should always consider and remember that we have different values, beliefs,religion and norms that we practice & it forms the basis of which our behaviour have been developed.
Ideas that conflicts our morals and beliefs should not prompt us to become violent, abusive and rude. We should always think deeply about the past, present and future implications of our words,actions and advocacy. Most imporu, we should always inquire about the legal implications of our actions as they may be criminal.
Let's not forget that the fame we get is only temporary as the world have an inevitable style of moving and embracing new ideas and change is after all constant.
Concentrating on being ourselves and developing ideas to make our world a better place will get us fame even without us noticing. When we put in our effort , commitment into a project with happiness and fulfilment as motivation, it brings out the best in our work.
Fame shouldn't be the driving force of our motivation if we wish to create a lasting impression. Violence and rudeness shouldn't be our identity if we are to be acknowledged. Our contribution to human development is what will take us to our zenith.
