Today's Internet and Communication

I think today's younger generation doesn't appreciate the technology we have today. Most of the younger kids that are in high school are always texting or trying to get to a computer to get on Facebook. People who are in their 20's understand the responsibility and were able to see the transaction from slow dial-up to today's amazing fast broadband speed.

With the advancement of technology, people use their computers and text messages on cell phones as a way to communicate. This will make it more difficult for people to speak to one another in person. It's a different experience when typing and actually talking.

Facebook has it's benefits as well as a few problems. I connect with family who I rarely see. It gives me updates on what they're doing, and its easier to communicate with each other. There are also problems with Facebook. There are people who have 1000s of friends because they accept friend requests from anyone. There is a possible chance of stalkers who try to friend every person possible.

So if you rarely socialize with people and are always on your phone texting, get out there and communicate with people and share common interests. This will eventually help you in the long run.
