Students spread social networking awareness in Mumbai

TYBMM students of LS Raheja College in Santacruz (West), organised a lecture on online relationships titled ‘Guess Me – Real or Fake?’ at Kripa Nagar society, Vile Parle on July 11. Conducted by cyber-psychologist Vicky Shah, the lecture was held to spread awareness about the pros and cons of online relationships.

The audience was made up of teenagers and their parents, and the topics discussed included morphing, online dating, and cyber crimes such as terrorism and hacking. Shah emphasised the importance of knowing who you’re talking to over the Internet and to what extent one should disclose their personal details. Also, parents were advised to keep a check on their children while they explore the online world of social networking.

The lecture was part of a larger campaign started by the student group, which calls itself ‘Impeccable’. To get in touch with them, check out their communities on Facebook, Orkut and Twitter.
