• Before you post : Before posting something on social media , we should always think twice . We don ’ t know if it might offend someone .
• Ignore Trolls : We should try to avoid interacting with these people that sit around all day and try to make people ’ s lives miserable . Instead of wasting time on useless things like arguing with someone who only wants to make you angry or sad , we should try our best to ignore them .
• Educate Yourself on Technology : The world we live in is constantly changing , and so is technology . So , to not fall behind , we should update our knowledge and experience .
• Treat Others with Respect : Remember the golden rule in life : treat others the way you want to be treated . Well , the same rule applies to the digital world as well .
