FORWARDING AGENTS

                       

Boredom can do a lot of things.I know.

But in our quest to while away the abundantly excess time we currently have on our hands & become 'relevant' on social media,let's do well not to lose our heads.The head is for thinking,not for carrying load.

As more smart phones get released into the system,more & more people move from being dumb to being dumber.Thanks to social media.

Day in,day out, new 'sicklers' emerge on social media. People want to be the first to break the news. Some people armed with depleted IQs,smart phones,chargers & GHC1 data bundles will comfortably sit in their homes and just put pieces of information,whose authenticity can not be proved, together and release them into the naked social media constituency.

The 'Forwarding Agents', who never take the pains to verify any information received or chanced upon,will also be on standby to quickly forward these unverified pieces of information just like that.

Within moments,countless pieces of false information will be out there in the open. Dangerously being forwarded from pages to pages,groups to groups,and from persons to persons. Thereby,misinforming the masses and putting more people at risk than necessary.

In our collective fight againt the COVID-19 pandemic,INFORMATION is extremely vital! Getting the right information can save thousands of lives.Sharing false information,on the other hand has the potential of killing millions.

COVID-19 WILL KILL 1000s, BUT OUR STUPIDITY WILL CERTAINLY KILL MILLIONS...!
