letters and wait for almost a month just for them to receive it and another month for us to
receive their response. But thanks to the technology development all of these problems
were solved. We can use media to spread news in just a blink of an eye, we became updated!
We can help others by sharing our knowledge through social media; we can talk to our
relatives around the world without waiting for months. But we should always remember to
use all the social media platforms properly avoid abusing it.
