Online learning and social media will be a part of our lives. They change our lives. For example, I use my phone every day. It helps me, but I should try to use it safely and responsibly. Control of my life should be in my hands, not given to technology. Our life is our own world. Online safety and social media are closely connected because social platforms are a major part of our daily online life.
