Communication
The 21st century is the time of huge technological progress. It is hard to imagine that ten years ago there were no social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Skype, fast internet connection, texting and many other things people enjoy doing nowadays. It is a good thing that the World is moving forward, everything is changing for better, mostly. But there are a lot of opinions on how does it affect us? Whether it is positive influence or negative?
There are two sides of a coin, as always. Many people side with “heads” – for positive, others with “tails” for negative. Both sides have reasonable arguments.
Internet with social networks give us a lot of opportunities. For example: tomeet new people and to communicate with friends wherever you are and whenever you want, even if thousands of miles separate you. Skype is a bright example of this. You can also obtain new information, study, broaden your knowledge and outlook. In my opinion - those are the most ponderable effects of Positive influence.
As for the “tails”, well, negative influence is present as well. First of all this is not good for your health, it is the passive way of lifestyle which has its own consequences. Furthermore,some people abuse using such “internet social life”. They can literally spend the whole day doing nothing, many of them become dependent from this way of communication. Instead of normalintercourse you just literally “refresh the page” on Facebook or any other social network and wait for someone to get in touch with you. That is not normal, we are socialized creatures, we cannot dwell normally without intercommunication.
