Over the past few years,
there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information
online. In this article, we will learn about some positive factors regarding
people sharing information online.
We often share information with our friends in the office or at
home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. In this way, we can

look at the Facebook of your friends, you will realize that most of their
updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny
jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by The New York Times said
they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be
beneficial to others.
A lot of people share
information online to portray (描述) their true self to the
outside world.
Some people, especially
those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in
the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information
online with like-minded individuals.
78% of the respondents in
the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it
helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the
time to meet each other in person, and the Internet has become a great substitute.
A lot of people now "meet" each other online, rather than in
conventional places like restaurants and pubs.

thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who
are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to
the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world
