In digital environments , nowadays almost anything can be done whether it be digital marketing , securing information , education , work , entertainment , communication … “ Basically , things that almost everyone knows in this era ’’ is what I would like to say but as I said anything can be done such as identity or prosperity thefts , smuggling , and other crimes against human rights but I will get into it later . What I mean is the digital environment is quite an advantageous place to do our daily life tasks or have fun as long as everything is under control and secured , and the first problem starts here .
There is this thing called “ Digital ID ’’. It is basically personal digital services of the user and it can contain information on identity , work , health , and education statuses or property , location , and bank account information too . Not securing these services can result in bad outcomes . The adopters of Digital IDs need to take precautions seriously and secure their information via passwords , monitor their activities , use safe connections and be cautious when contacting other users . After securing the services what can we do in digital environments ?
Personally , I use media to play games , do research , contact others , watch videos or learn languages but there are users who get an education or work online , create content or business and follow up on events too . These sides of digital media require communication a lot . One can meet people or advertise business which opens up an environment for interpretation . Here comes our second problem . Since it is digital media , things can be misunderstood or users can hide their identities while harassing or bullying others . This can really damage individuals or groups in both morale and material ways . The way to steer clear of these issues is by being aware of our actions and knowing how to protect our rights .
