We are all hooked to the Internet one way or another. In the age of information, how can we leverage the fast delivering social media platforms to improve lives and not harm others or ourselves?

Dr. Lee Soon Li from Monash University talked about how the Internet has improved mental health awareness in society and how it could be detrimental to us.

If you think you are using your gadgets too much, listen to your body and regulate the time spent with your gadgets. If you are or have been a victim of cyberbullying, we encourage you to reach out to authorities and seek professional help.
