Q. What is a post?
The post refers to any type of content that is conveyed through any medium, including text, graphics, and other types of files. There is a difference between posts of old times and today’s modern posts. Before 1996 people used to write letters and post them through post offices or by postmen, but in 1996, a revolution was brought into the world of communication and finally, people started posting through email. The Internet was actually invented in 1993 but it was not taken as a standard means of communication. On October 29, 1996, it was finally declared a faithful source of communication.
Power of Posting
Post is not just a piece of information, it has the power to change the world. A post might be silent but it can be louder than a scream. If a human wants to say something he can convey it to a limited number of people and might take time to convey it to the masses but a post can be conveyed to a large number of people within seconds and even grab the attention of the most powerful people of the town. Through a single post, one can tell his story to the whole world.
Drawback of post
With the power of spreading truth among the world, the post also holds the power of spreading the lie as well. The current generation struggles with many issues and accepts anything they read online. In many places, people use the power of posts to take revenge or to bad-name anyone. He makes one post and thousands of people believe that it’s true.
