disadvantages of the internet.

Hi Tony !
hi tony
how are you know, i hope you will be fine.....,i just won to tell you about positive and negative impacts
of internet use. Because you are an internet addict, especially in playing social media
In my opinion, you have to be even more selective in using the internet, especially in social media,
because what we have to know is that playing too much on social media is not good.... because there
will be lots of bad effects, such as hacking personal data, as well as misuse photos or whatever you
upload on your social media
