In this information era, due to the advanced technology, it is quite common for people to socialize on the Internet. It is a positive trend, but meanwhile a series of problems also occur as a result.
The advantages of social networking are obvious. People can enlarge the circle of friends, as there are no geographical restrictions. A good example of that is a Taiwanese student can discuss a latest film with a British student on the Internet, which they can exchange ideas much easier than face-to-face discussion. Also, people can make some virtual friends, who have the same interests as them. It is an effective way that people could have a better understanding of history, culture and customs from different regions. In addition, various people feel more comfortable when they socialize online.
Many of them rather communicate with strangers on the web than invite their friends into their houses for a chat.
However, the problems relevant to socialize on the web should not be ignored. People’s social life seems to be dominated by the Internet. There is a huge number of people live in virtual space and ignore the communication with others in real life. For instance, some young people rarely see their relatives or friends in real life and they only talk on the Internet. As a consequence, their relationships become alienated. What is worse is that a growing number of people get addicted to socializing in the virtual space, which affects the development of their social skills. These people may become isolated and have difficulty in communicating
Overall, it is unavoidable that people spend more time interacting with their friends, but we should take measures to control our screen time. Apart from this, due to the communicate technology, which is considered as a symbol of progress in this fast-changed world. However, how to tackle the consequence problems is still a challenge.
