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.
She said: “The modern technological facilities have transformed every aspect of our society. However, there has been a growing trend among the youth of wasting hours on the internet surfing, which adversely affects the physical and mental health of children.”
Journalist and president of the Karachi Press Club Fazil Jamili also spoke.
Later, Ms Rashid and Mr Jamili distributed prizes among the participants.
