attention to social media platforms and networks. Some of them are even addicted to these types of technology and ignore

, according to the Digital 2021 report of digital advertising company We Are Social (UK) Viet Nam has about 72 million social network users, equivalent to more than 73% of the population.

on both individuals and families are severe.
