Question

Discuss the following statement:

Answer 1

Explanation:

People share too much information about themselves online because there is a sense of obscurity when it comes to the internet. People believe that they can take up any identity they want when they are online because it awards them some sort of secrecy and privacy.

For this reason, people will use various usernames, especially those that cannot be linked to them. You get this feeling/sense that you are someone else. You can be anyone or anything you want to be online and this is why people reveal a lot about themselves through the various platforms. You can have a friend from another country, continent and you know you can discuss anything with him or her without having your name on the scandal sheet the next day.

Young people do not know how to interact in the real world because they have created another world for themselves; a world of internet, fantasy and games. Many youths are glued to their phone and laptop screens while the world pass them by because they are not interested in that world, rather they are in their comfort zone.

For this reason they find it difficult to interact in the real world especially with people who are not of their "world."
