Don't be someone you're not

If you lie about yourself on social media, you lied about yourself. A lie online is still a lie. Don't be someone you're not.

Information is great and mostly positive, but it still has its limitations.
It can be helpful to research a possible disease you're waiting to hear back from your doctor. But knowing more may not make you feel better about it. It can make you feel worse.

Don't argue politics with strangers
Talk with your friends, sure, but if you want to increase your enjoyment of the Internet and life in general, steer clear of debating politics with strangers.
It's far too easy to make negative assumptions about a stranger's character or motivation.

Prefer substance over clickbait
Advertisers pay many websites based on how many page views they receive. The site owner's business plan is to get as many people clicking onto and within their website to earn more income. They don't care if they are providing value.

Just because you can find the information online doesn't mean you should
A great aspect of the Internet is that you can find any information 24/7. That also makes it the most dangerous.
Just because you can know what your ex-girlfriend is up to these days, who starred in that movie, what the weather is like in Barcelona, doesn't mean you need i...

Even if you disagree with it, not every negative statement about your diet, industry, religion, lifestyle, or political party is a personal attack on you.
Generally, it is more productive to let it go and move on with your life.

Don't believe everything
Websites can be faked; reviews can be faked; identities can be faked; news can be faked; photos can be faked; videos can be faked.
Sometimes it is faked for fun, and other times people have really bad motives. Don't believe everything on the Internet. Verify it.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
