Development of online communication in today’s

world

is enormous and people can reach instantly one another. People never feel alone, a handheld device can make people closer, who are miles far away. An introduction on how communication developed over a decade, a brief note on the merits, demerits and its consequences.

First

, let’s have a recollection of history and people were excited, when communication become possible through wire / landline, which was invented by Graham bell. Latter period, which was a couple of decades ago mobile phone was discovered. The new age discovery brought revolution in the industry as well as to the common people. As of today’s date, more than billion subscribers around the

world

and they were

also

using the internet. It can be categorized into four age groups,

such

as children, teen, professional and elders. The

first

group of people uses majorly for watching rhymes and play games. The

second

category is the major focus, teens. They brought the revolution, by using social media and other chat services in a full-fledged manner. The

third

set of people has a major focus on business and employment related services.

Finally

, the elderly people and their scope of usage based on online services,

such

as medical and health care. To mention noteworthy, online shopping becomes very popular among youth, which can provide a vast range of products at your doorstep. The services provided by the online shopping website, make them very popular. Internet

also

adapted by the country’s government, to provide door step services,

such

as issue licenses and other government services.

On the other hand

, demerits can be listed,

such

as social media friendship cannot stay for a longer period and virtual

world

is entirely different than the actual

world

. It exposes our data to any strangers, which is seriously vulnerable.

Second

, always use internet in a smart way and don’t get exposed to any phishing attack. I can agree to some extent, that online chat could make us friends and get us involved in social activities. At the same it could be dangerous to expose our personal information to a new person. Act smartly and safely.
