Online Identity

 

This is the era of online identity

This is the era of modern technology

This has unlocked immense opportunity

Avatars today look like a celebrity

While the benefit is communication and work

Careful, for hidden dangers lurk

People create an online personality

But their shared information gains immortality

While online activity provides an insight 

Leaving a digital footprint may not always be right

Vital is privacy, security and reputation

Internet browsing can be an intoxication

Professional networks can showcase qualifications

Yet all things are mere calculations

Gains are networking and expanded reach

And I do not intend to give a moral speech

But beware of phishing and identity theft

Being aware is really the best.
