Think-Before-You-Click Campaign or TBYC Campaign




                There is a saying “The pen is mightier than the sword.”Nowadays, that saying can be considered a history for those who fought using pen in seeking freedom against the perpetrators without shedding blood. Moreover, in today’s modern era, we shall appropriately use the saying “The keyboard and mouse are mightier than the pen,” instead. 

           The clinging of human hood to the world wide web or the Internet has greatly influence his life. We could say that the making and breaking of ones life can be done through the Internet now.

Needless to say, that mouse and keyboard are the weapons that can give life or even devastate it. The word “click” in the Internet like in the social network sites such as facebook, twitter, friendster and the like, embodies a lot of meaning. Clicking can mean sharing of links or body of knowledge to anyone else, adding someone as part of list of your friends, deleting him or her in your lists otherwise, acknowledging, etc. 


                      The most dangerous part of “clicking” of “click” is when the user clicks for destroying ones or bullying a certain entity in the world of internet.


On the other hand, there is what we call TBYC Advocacy drive that reminds the user of WWW to be more responsible and respectful. TBYC simply means Think Before You Click.

Think before you click when using the internet. Remember, a simple word or simple sharing of picture can be killing someone’s life. Simple clicking can make others life misery. Furthermore, I personally saw this TBYC-advocacy in a certain television network that reminded the viewers to screen themselves in what they are clicking in the internet. Thus, simple clicking means a powerful potion to somebody else’s life. 


                      I hope we shall TBYC ourselves or simply share TBYC to our friends, educating them to be more responsible user and to the youth’s of today who make up the most of the world’s population, nurture in them the right values including proper handling of the internet.

After all, at the end of day, the kind of words you utter or something you put into the internet will tell the kind of person that you are. It is not what we have achieved in life but what kind of person have you become to others. If they say today, “The mouse and keyboard are mightier than the sword,” you shall say as well “Your good values is mightier than anything in this world,” so, think before you click.
