“Many of us spend hours in front of our computers and communicate more by e-mail or instant-messaging than in person. Some people believe that this is good because it helps shy people communicate more openly with others. Others believe that computer communication prevents us from developing interpersonal skills and limits our ability to have meaningful relationships with others. How do you feel about this issue? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.”
If you immediately need to contact your associate, or group member, for some homework problem, what is the first thing you would do to reach them? One thing that you could do is get on your computer in your room and contact them through Facebook. Another thing you could possibly do on that computer is contact them through My Space. Finally, on the computer, you could Instant Message them. You could do so through America Online Instant Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, or MSN Instant Messenger. You could also use your cellular phone to fix your problem, which most teenagers do. One possibility is calling the other individual. Another idea would be to send them a text message. Finally, you could contact them through a social network, such as Facebook or My Space, or through an Instant Messenger, such as American Online Instant Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, or MSN Instant Messenger, on your phone. However, there was a time when not everyone had cellular phones and computers in their lives. In recent days, these things have almost become necessities. About fifteen years ago, people mostly communicated in person. They would call people and they would even send an email or a letter in the mail every once in a while. Communication has drastically changed over the years--especially over the last twenty-or-so years. I do not know why this is so, but it seems that things are still changing and doing so very quickly. Will the changes in forms of communication ever slow down?
