Firstly, with the development of technology, the social media has became one of the most important addictions. One thing that is related to social media is people tends to post contents whatever they want and have no aware of the dangers imposed. For instance, the teenagers in the modern society are addicted to social networks and also due to the current trend of social media. The younger generations would post more about their daily lives and not concerned about what they are losing.

Secondly, with the improvements of the food industry, people in China are addicted to the food delivery applications in their mobile phones, which is also because of the convenience. One of the dangers of the delivery industry is people’s personal details such as their address and phone numbers can be easily accessed by the strangers. However, The greater problem related to this situation is people have too little awareness towards exposing their personal details.
