Communication is perhaps the best medium through the internet – emails, VoIP (voice over internet protocol) IM (instant messaging) and social media tools are the best technological development in the 21st Century. The world and people are connected instantly; with 5 g networks in the offing the future looks promising.
However that being said there is a dark side to the internet. As powerful as the instant forms of communication the internet also allows unfiltered and unchecked information to flow. At first glance because of the information overload some register in our minds and some do not. In fact a majority of the news feed do not register for more than a few seconds. The problem arises when the threshold of a few seconds grows into double digit and more so when the same information is repeated.
