The dangers of using digital technology

"We often encounter difficulties, especially when it comes to recruitment, because most people think that digital is limited to social networks like Facebook and Twitter," laments Mamadou Moustapha Sarr. He believes that young people today limit themselves to community management, while it's a sub-profession of digital communication. "So to have the right profile, you need someone who knows how to create content, position a website, do internal and external optimization, design a website that meets the requirements of new technologies, and develop an application," he adds. But this is the difficulty often encountered by
entrepreneurs like him when it comes to recruiting employees.

To remedy this, he advocates continuous training. “You can learn about something and the next day, you have to do research on the same thing because it evolves very quickly. There are so many innovations and tools. What existed in 2018 may no longer exist. Today, we're talking about artificial intelligence, and certainly, there will be many jobs that will disappear in 2023. We are constantly evolving and we can no longer remain fixed on one thing,” adds Mamadou Moustapha Sarr. His colleague, Basile Niane, confirms: “Training is crucial for everyone. It's a necessity. The kuwait mobile database that were relevant a few years ago may no longer be sufficient today, because technologies and market trends are evolving rapidly.” “Besides being an investment, training can help those working online develop new skills, discover new technologies and practices, understand market trends and gain a broader perspective on the field.”

Today, between social media, instant messaging, and email, communication is direct, borderless, and very fast. This sometimes exposes people to risks of addiction, cybercrime, eye problems, and social alienation. "Yes, there are risks, like any profession. Already, working remotely can lead to mental and physical health problems, such as social isolation, stress, eye strain, back pain, and posture problems. They also face financial risks, such as income fluctuations, difficulty finding new clients, and global competition," said Basile Niane, who also highlights the difficulties digital entrepreneurs face in finding funding, customers, and, above all, in facing competition.

He adds, "Those who work 100% also face IT security issues such as phishing, malware, hacking attacks, and identity theft. These risks can be particularly serious for self-employed workers who may not have the resources to implement adequate security measures." Regarding cybercrime, hackers can create viruses that can infiltrate your personal computer and destroy valuable data. Users' personal information such as name, address, credit card, bank details, and other information can be accessed by malicious users, resulting in significant economic loss. However, Basile Niane advises that it is important to note that these risks can be mitigated by taking appropriate precautionary measures.

The Internet allows us to learn, socialize, find work, express ourselves, and hold virtual demonstrations (virtual marches). Thanks to the Internet, we can communicate with anyone, wherever they are, it facilitates the sharing of information, entertainment, and allows us to make purchases without leaving home. However, easy access to the Internet should not lead to irresponsible or careless use, because the Internet also presents dangers. The numerous cases of account hacking, theft of data from sharing emails or inappropriate images and videos, and cyberbullying are among other threats of connectivity.
