Internet and Communication

The changes in communication that the internet has brought are dramatic. The ways that people can reach each other is now not only instantaneous, but also worldwide. The internet has made it easier to stay in touch with distant family members and friends. I do not believe that that email has made us any more impersonal than we were before. Writing an email is the same as writing them a letter. Email is just an electronic form of a regular letter that is delivered instantly instead of having to wait days for the regular mail to deliver it. If you call someone on a phone they have to answer the call. They may not be there at the time the call is made they will miss your call. When you create and send an email it will stay in the mail box until it is delete . It is much easier to send an email to many people at once rather than calling each person individually. If you are planning a party or a trip, you can get a more accurate headcount with less effort. Setting up times and dates to meet is more easily coordinated when multiple people can respond to an email with their available schedules. The internet has made it easier for people to plan time together.
