The internet has changed the way we interact with each other now compared to in the past. What at the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Since the

internet

has been introduced it has changed the way we communicate with each other quite a

lot

. Some believe the

internet

has only brought about positive developments as we can communicate instantly with each other, while others believe it has negative effects on society. In

this

essay, I am going to discuss what I believe are the advantages and disadvantages of how we communicate with each other now in comparison to the past by using the

internet

. Communicating with each other has never been so convenient as it is today, thanks to the invention of the

internet

. Loved ones are able to communicate with each other abroad instantly at any time and in any place. In the ,past we had to use landlines and it cost quite a bit of money, where now it is very cost-effective using the

internet

.

Also

, in the,past we had to wait for weeks to receive a letter from our family and friends, where no

one

can send an email and even attach images

such

as photos with your email. Communication has never been so user friendly, efficient and fast as it is today. Despite the advantages of the

internet

, it has

also

brought along some disadvantages.

One

negative aspect is the fact that a

lot

of people will spend a

lot

of time looking at their phone in a restaurant or social event catching up on social media, their emails or texting while some of their friends or family members are physically

next

to them. In the long ,run

this

will cause a barrier in their relationships with their loved

one

's who are physically around them. Another

negative aspect is that a

lot

of people now send text messages

instead

of phoning

one

another and sometimes the text message is full of emoticons, shortening the message even more.

This

also

brings down the quality of your relationship with your loved ones. In conclusion,

although

the

internet

has a

lot

of advantages especially when it comes to instant communication it

also

has its negative aspects

such

as being disconnected from your friends and families. It is

therefore

important not to lose the quality and importance of physical interaction with

one

another.
