The internet
The world is getting more modern, so new technologies have changed how communication is conducted between people. Viewed from different angles, I think technologies and the internet, in particular, have influenced on communication and relationships in several ways, and there are both positive and negative consequences.
The internet is easy for anyone to contact people who live in other areas at any time. For example, we are on business trip in a foreign country, we still can update and exchange information of our parents or our relatives who live in hometown. A lot of people use social networks such as Facebook, twitter, Skype and email to find old friends, make new friends. Because someone finds it comfortable to share secrets with virtual friends and this contributes to spending leisure time together without any efforts or spending money. The internet gives companies, groups and shops good opportunities to improve the quality of work through email marketing campaign and online conferences.
However, there is no doubt that the internet has had negative impacts on human interactions. Taking advantage of the interaction through the internet means people are decreasing their oral language development. This could make people limit their soft skills like communication ability or body language. Finally, we are immersed in a virtual relationship which is a poor substitute for real friendship and isolated in the real world. In addition, our physical and mental health are affected to a greater or less degree if we sit down at the screen too much time. It leads to obesity and other issues such as eye strain and muscle problems.
