Some people say that the Internet is making the world smaller by bringing people together. To what extent do you agree that the internet is making it easier for people to communicate with one another?

Today, thanks to the rapid development of the

internet

, it has an essential role to play, which cannot be denied. Due to its potential dangers, I partially agree with

this

viewpoint. In terms of its positive aspects, the

Internet

has enhanced

communication

between people significantly compared to the past. In the past, people would write letters and wait for responses for very long periods of time.

Moreover

, some letters had been lost or had been addressed to the wrong address, making the lettering process an insecure means of

communication

. With the advancement of email and other online messaging systems,

communication

between hemispheres has become more accessible than ever.

Furthermore

, the

Internet

also

creates a sense of closeness,

also

allowing us to handle video chats with people thousands of kilometres away, by simply clicking on a mouse or in some simple ways manipulating of fingers.

However

, online

communication

has resulted in a number of social issues for users. Adolescents are particularly addicted to social networking sites like Facebook, in which they engage in unruly, antisocial chatter.

Instead

of interacting with his or her loved ones in person, he or she prefers to engage in conversations with strangers over the

Internet

. In conclusion,

although

the

Internet

has made it possible for the world to come together, it

also

presents a number of issues that can have a negative impact on individual lives.

Therefore

, we should make extensive use of the

Internet

and balance time spent with our families with time spent online.
