Ever since the evolution of the internet, individuals have been able to make complicated tasks a lot more simple. Doing research is a breeze for high school and college students. In the past a student could not accomplish any research without taking a few trips to the library. Communications was also a lot different before the evolution of the internet. Especially in long distance situations. Email has made communication between people in different cities, states, and even countries very simple at a low cost. The internet has no doubt had it benefits but its negatives need to be addressed. It seems to affect face to face relationships between people. People use email instead of a face to face meetings or a personal phone call. People use dating sites to find dates rather than going out and meeting people in person. People apply for jobs over the internet instead of going to job fairs in person. Even though the internet has its benefits, it's negatives need to be address as it is affecting personal communication between people. Face to face communication is very important. In the future people will be so used to computer based communication situations they will lack the proper skills to communicate with each other. |
