KARACHI: The internet is a catalyst for globalisation as it has united the world. Information Techno­logy is changing the way we work, expanding our global knowledge base and bringing people and society closer together. However, the growing inappropriate uses among the youth is alarming.

This was said by Hamdard Foundation President Sadia Rashid at a monthly Hamdard Naunehal Assembly.
