Some things do live forever.

With the Internet & constantly-advancing technology these days, there are certain things that could last forever.

Photos for example; they will not tear neither will they discolour. You store them digitally and they can be kept for a very, very long time.

Whatever is placed on the world wide web – they can remain there too even after being deleted or removed. We have all the tools needed to retrace and retrieve.

That is why they say the Internet is heaven, you could do almost anything you want with it. It could also be hell because once you place something out there, chances are you can no longer take it back.

Many people don’t realise that – that is why some are so reckless while associating with people and actions online.

But remember, some things, you can never remove them although it may seem like you have. Them resurfacing is only a few clicks away.

Somehow a thought always gets lost.

Do you think that the world wide web is being abused every single day?

So much of twaddle performed online these days, a reason why prowlers exist. A person can know so much about another stranger with just a click. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging because we’re all stalkers in a way.

Many channel hatred and spread rumours using this manner. Some even make publicising their daily dramas or bringing down another person a leisure pursuit. That’s what I see on a daily basis, c’mon don’t be childish.

How about those who go around adding random people on Facebook without even knowing them? We’re not in a race to see who has more friends here. How many of them do you actually know personally?

This is also how crooks/criminals prey on the innocent, or how people take advantage of loopholes to commit fraud and swindle naive individuals. Nothing ever comes free y’know? Bear that in mind.

But what I really want to talk about is not really any of the above although you have to admit, the issues mentioned are pretty critical nowadays.

The Internet is a place where we can seek any type of information we want/need worldwide to aid us in studies, to better comprehend matters we are not familiar with, as well as to broaden our knowledge. However many are exploiting it.

I think it is highly unethical when a person grabs something from the Internet and claims ownership of it. When you post items you did not produce under your account without providing credits, it’s called stealing. It is a crime.

Imagine if someone takes something you wrote/did out of inspiration and pretends it’s theirs. There are many beautiful and pretty creations, I agree. But I believe it’s the least you could do when you take something that does not belong to you?

So please, give recognition to the actual owners whom you take materials from.
