Why do you believe Digital Tattoo is an important initiative?
Online interaction and communication have become an integral aspect of modern life. As we become more used to this new way of living, we often overlook the potential risks of being overexposed in the virtual world. Therefore, it is important to let people understand the pros and cons associated with technology usage. Digital Tattoo is an initiative that provides relevant resources for people to reconsider and ponder over their digital identity, while also educating them about their rights and obligations as digital citizens.
