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.
