Social media has come to stay. According to www.statista.com, as of July 2018, Facebook had about 2.2 billion monthly active users. YouTube and WhatsApp had 1.9 and 1.5 billion monthly active users respectively. Instagram, which ranked the sixth most used app, had about a billion monthly active users.
This points to the fact that most, if not all, of the people you’d ever meet in real life, you may have already met them on social media.
One needs to be careful, thus, how they conduct themselves in this virtual space. You are as close to your heaven as you’re to your hell on social media. Just one post can open amazing doors. Just one post, too, can shut all the doors in your life.
Be careful not to fall for some of these “sins” when on any social media platform. The internet never forgets.
Seeing everything through a political lens!
Yes, we know you are a political stalwart. We know you are a die-hard supporter of your party. We know you’d even want your corpse to be dressed in your political colors. But… not everything deserves your needless political attention. Not every happening needs to be attributed to politics.
Your political inclinations should not cloud your thoughts. It’s OK to throw about your political affiliation but some sensitive issues deserve brains, not propaganda!
Headline readers!
Reading is such a chore for some of us. But hey, don’t go throwing tantrums under someone’s post when you haven’t even read the content. Don’t just read a headline and assume you know the details.
If reading is such a hard thing for you, keep your views. It’s better to be regarded wise in your silence than to make a comment… and remove all doubt!
Mocking when you can’t stand mockery!
When you are allergic to poison, you don’t serve it to another man. What is good for the goose, should of course be good for the gander, too. If you can’t stand mockery of your spiritual fathers and others you respect, don’t go mocking anyone else.
You don’t go mocking others and when they mock people you’re loyal to, you come flagging the “Touch not my anointed” card. I guess those you were mocking have water running in their veins, unlike your anointed. Huh!?
Disagreeing with disrespect.
Do you know you can read someone’s post you disagree with and move on… and you won’t die? Well, others seem not to know this. They can barely disagree with respect.
Thing is, it is very possible to make your submissions without dishonoring another person. You have no idea the faces behind some accounts; some are very influential. You may meet them someday and that disrespect will be slammed back into your face. Hallelujah!
Here comes the Socrates of our time!
You don’t need to have a say on every issue. You don’t need to comment on every single happening. You can’t be a doyen in everything; from politics, to sports, to entertainment, to business to what have you. Sometimes, the best comment is to observe and learn.
You don’t go making “out-of-context” analysis on issues you have only little understanding of, throwing jargons around and making mockery of yourself. In a bid to flaunt your intellect, you subject yourself to ridicule. Sometimes, just shut up!
Beauty online. Beast offline!
Have you ever had the experience of meeting someone offline and getting disappointed in their physical looks? Well, in these times of filters, Photoshop and apps to make us look like gods and goddesses, it is easy to appear spotless online. You can effortlessly pose as a Dubai business magnate when you don’t even know where the airport is.
It is better for people to know for who you are so they help you if they can. It is always best if people know your face for what it is so when you get missing, you can be found!
Selling your privacy for a pittance!
In the washroom, you’d tag 99 others. When you’re travelling, you’d let the whole world know. Just when you’re delivered of your baby, you put their picture on your pages. Hey! You’re inviting robbers into your home unawares. You’re exposing your family to needless danger.
The virtual world should not know every single thing going on in your life. Have some privacy. Keep some happenings privately. Not everyone is happy you are happy!
The blasphemy of sending threatening messages in the name of the Lord!
“Send this message to 10 people or else…” Or else what!? It is blasphemy to think God is such a bully to coerce people into sending messages on social media. Never share such messages. It makes you one gullible folk!
Sharing junk messages
You see, what you share says a lot about you. What you comment on, reveals a lot about you. It tells how gullible you are if you type “Amen” to receive a million dollars. If you’re the one always sharing jokes on rape, it tells who you are. If it’s always you sharing lewd memes and posts, it unveils the pervert in you. Be careful what you share. Sometimes, you don’t need to tell people who you are. Other people’s posts you share will!
Duping people online!
Social media has made the world today like a small compound house where we all have a mutual friend. You may not know others but they may know someone who knows you. Otherwise speaking, everybody knows you. It will take just a name or picture to have all your evil deeds go viral. Be very careful how you conduct yourself. All eyes on you!
Google Pixel 4a Retail Packaging And Photos
Google as a giant search engine having a lot of subsidiary products related to the company, one aspect the company seek to improve upon is the hardware aspect.
With this, we can see how the company has advanced with their hardware aspect from 2019 till date — and the Google Pixel 4 alone testifies how to company has improved on its hardware.
The next to mention today is the Google Pixel 4a that is here with confirmed photos to view.
The impending Google Pixel 4a has now leaked in retail boxes which hints at a close by launch, even though confirming several essential portions of the unit.
Firstly, the packaging follows the identical standard template that we have seen in modern years with Google Pixel retail components. Previous leaks have supplied us a glimpse of a prototype handset, billboards and advised pricing, the retail box was posted in the Pixel Group on Fb (by way of TechDroider)
We get to see the upcoming black Pixel 4a, the sqrear digital camera nodule total with LED flash and we believe will enjoy host to a 12-megapixel sensor.
Those people continue to holding on the hope that we may see many lenses on the more cost-effective Pixel devices seem set to be sorely disappointed.
Specs
Preceding leaks have verified that we will see the Pixel 4a occur powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 3,080mAh battery and an FHD+ resolution show set at 60Hz. We do believe that the Pixel 4a will arrive with also arrives with a rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner, but the crop on the box does not look to exhibit the round activation pad.
Regrettably, the retail box does not outright validate these preceding Pixel 4a prototype leaks but does hint that Google is managed to make the gadget regardless of COVID-19 coronavirus issues. The only downside right here is that we’re only genuinely acquiring to see the simple black product, which could possibly not whet your hunger fairly so significantly.
With IO 2020 necessary canceled, it’s unclear just how Google is preparing to start the 4a collection. Ramping up manufacturing ahead of an imminent start day is surely something you’d hope even without a bodily launch occasion — though there is no indicator that this is the situation as nonetheless.
Thanks for reading as we hope to follow up to bring you more confirmation about the — Google Pixel 4a soon — and also Google Pixel 4a in Ghana.
