The Impact of the Internet on the Way People Communicate

　　Due to the wide use of puters and the development of Internet, more and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more attention to electronic munication than to face-to-face contact.

　　As electronic munication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Internet with our tools such as puters, mobile phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our munication, but the electronic munication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through electronic munication.

　　Therefore, though electronic munication brings convenience to our life, I still don?t think the electronic munication can replace face-to-face contact.

　　互联网对人际交流方式的影响

　　由于计算机和互联网的广泛使用,越来越多的人喜欢在网上聊天。我们倾向于更注重电子交流而不是面对面接触。

　　由于电子交流不受空间限制,我们可以在任何有互联网的地方用计算机、手机和平板电脑与他人聊天。然而,当我们在线上与他人聊天时,我们无法充分表达自己的感受。就像图片所显示的,父母无法触摸或拥抱孩子。我们知道肢体语言在我们的交流中发挥着重要作用,但电子交流做不到这一点。例如,当我们难过时,我们需要更多的爱和温暖,来自父母或朋友的真正拥抱对我们来说可能比电子交流中的文字意味着更多。

　　因此,虽然电子交流为我们的生活带来了便利,但我仍然不认为电子交流可以取代面对面的接触。
