In recent years, people tend to spend more time surfing the Internet to do shopping or chat with friends

instead

of meeting directly with others. There are a number of reasons for

this

trend, which are having both negative and positive impacts on their life. There are two important reasons why most people prefer to surfer websites than setting up a face-to-face conversation. The

first

reason is simply because the Internet is extremely convenient and speedy.

Secondly

, interacting online is not only rapid and come handy, but

also

especially intelligent.

For example

However

,

this

tendency could have both negative and positive consequences in terms of community life. On the one side, interacting online could save more resources, compare with meeting offline. It is evident that multi-national corporations often hold a meeting online among the branches put in many different countries, which would be reduced time and travel cost for companies. In terms of negative, those who spend much time surfing online are more likely to be passive.

For example

tendency are both negative and positive side for social development, but if people use it properly and in a suitable degree, it would be more useful and valued.
