The Impact of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication
Today I saw an interesting cartoon, in which a father asked his daughter about her school performance of the day, and the daughter replied that he could go to her blog to check it. This small cartoon indicates a big change in our life, especially the way people communicate.
Internet enables people to break though the limitations of distance, strengthening social network. Unlike post offices, Internet service with its convenience helps people engage and converse real time with their parents, soul mates, friends though emails, IRC, micro blog anytime, anywhere with a network terminal, without suffering the long and painful wait for a reply.
Besides, such online communities as Twitter, Facebook are well under way and becoming the most dominating platforms for on-line social activities. These communities offer great opportunities for us to follow and interact with those we like and even those celebrities. It is also a platform for us to share and update information of each other, and learn the outside world.
Internet today and tomorrow is a virtual space where we live, where we learn, where we speak, and where we communicate.
网络对人际交往的影响
今天我看了一个有趣的漫画，其中一个父亲问他的女儿对她的学校一天的表现，和女儿说他可以去她的博客。这个小动画显示在我们的生活中有一个大的变化，特别是人们的沟通方式。
互联网使人们突破距离的局限，加强社会网络。不像邮局，互联网服务以其方便和帮助人们与他们的父母进行交谈，实时的灵魂伴侣，朋友通过电子邮件，IRC，微博客在任何时间，任何一个网络终端，无痛苦的漫长而痛苦的等待一个答复。
此外，作为推特这样的在线社区，facebook正在成为最主要的平台，在线社交活动。这些社区提供我们学习和那些我们喜欢和那些名人互动的好机会。这也是我们共享和更新彼此的信息平台，了解外面的世界。
互联网是一个虚拟的空间，今天和明天我们居住的地方，在这里学习，在我们说话，和我们沟通。
