“I think it's fair to
say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever
created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they
can be shaped by their user.”—Bill Gates.
The rise of modern technology marks the 21st century—highly developed features for computers have been generated with the purpose of bring tools in making the human life at ease. But in contrary to what the founder of Microsoft had stated, computers, rather than being used as tools of communication and creativity they are being used as tools of crime.

One of which is Copyright Infringement. It is one of the
most common cybercrime committed nowadays especially we all have the freedom to
access the computer and internet. Our freedom to our own property of works, on
the other hand also give ways to thieves to own your work without proper
credits which is big no, no to the law.
Another example is the cyberbullying—the top-rated cause
of teenage suicide cases. According to
i-SAFE foundation, over 83% of teenagers are being cyberbullied and only 1 out
of 10 tells it to their parents or to adults.
So, how do we prevent these events to happen to us?
Actually, there’s no prevention to such. The only thing we could do is to avoid
stepping into the circle of victimization. How? Choose life, over internet because
the real safety lies on your own fingertips.
