Some people say that instead of seeing the Internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities world-wide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view

The

Internet

is one of the biggest inventions of the

last

decades, contributing to society in many different ways,

such

as for sharing data, monitoring events or markets and

also

breaking communication frontiers. Generally, we can assume that

Internet

has a major role in globalization, primarily because it opens new ways of communication like Skype or Facebook, but we

also

need to consider its secondary effects. In my opinion, I agree with both scenarios given in the topic above.

companies are now allowed to recruit easily by video conference interviews and receive several electronic curriculums, making the task much easier, but

to open frontiers, reducing the process duration and expanding the market. Another example is the possibility of talking to your family in real time, even if they are far away. I experienced that myself when my brother went to study in Lisbon, the use of Skype was essential to communicate with him and I am sure that once I go to the United Kingdom it will be a powerful tool to stay in touch with my family. In the other hand, when not controlled or used wisely,

the Internet

can limit the development of humans, especially kids and teenagers, creating a social barrier interfering with social interaction and development

of helping with it. Many people, use the

as a refuge

social life, whether because of their personal problems like low self-esteem and shyness or addiction to games or other

subjects. Summing up, I believe that

the internet

has its pros and cons, and it is essential that people can filter how and when they should use it. As everything, the usage of what we have in our possession is controlled by us, and

when well used can have huge benefits in many fields, but at the same when not can, result in problems.
