The Good and Bad of Online Communication
Our need to communicate with each other is a constant driving force for new inventions.Online services and products are where most development in communication is happening. Now there are increasing options for when, where and how to communicate, and perhaps most importantly, with whom.
1. Nobody can see who they are or what they look like. Many people who are shy feel confident online. One user noted that everyone is equal online and this cannot be found in face-to-face meetings. When you meet someone in person, you immediately make judgments based on appearance. 2. Online, however, appearance, age and status all become unimportant, and this encourages users to be open and honest, which makes it a lot easier for people to make friends.
Apart from making friends online, the Internet can bring together like-minded people who want to discuss favourite topics. There are forums and chat rooms for just about any hobby, interest, special abilities or unusual taste you can imagine.
3.
Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it. Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people, they will forget how to get on with people face to face. Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet. 4. Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them without friends or family knowing about it is very dangerous behaviour. Even when the worst dangers do not happen, simple lies can leave people disappointed. Then there is the problem of information being stolen. The Internet has led to a new type of criminal, cyber-criminals, who could easily take your information and could even be using your identity and password.
5. Most users seem to think it is.
A.Whenever or however you use the Internet, hackers will be a constant threat.
B.With all these dangers, is going online to communicate really worthwhile?
C.People love the freedom of the Internet.
D.However, going online also has a dark side.
E.Even a person's accent or choice of shoes forms a certain impression.
F.Most users said that going online had improved their lives.
G.Not all people seeking relationships online have innocent intentions.
