Some say that young people do not read and write as much as they used to. I would say that they don’t read and write the same way any more…Young generations are actually very good at expressing themselves but, instead of communicating with people in their neighbourhood, they prefer to explore larger contexts with the help of modern technology…And since time is running so fast…more and more people avoid reading books and wait for the movies…
Some say that virtual communication is not real communication. I would say that there are different types of communication. That, regardless of “how” the message reaches its receiver, those “who” are involved in an on-line process of sharing information get the same results as in a face-to-face conversation. Even the non-verbal and body language can be replaced with emoticons each time you feel like using facial expressions and suggestive gestures…
Some say that the computer and the Internet have a devastating effect on social skills. I would say that, if they are not helpers, they are amazing alternatives or substitutes.They can provide advice when our parents are too busy or too tired, useful knowledge which our teachers don’t include in their lessons, entertainment when the real-life offers are not so appealing and/or affordable and a social life…because it’s only the “who” that matters not the “how”…
