It's hard to believe if someone doesn't have a Facebook account or screenname or even an email address. Nowadays, the new form of communication is through the computer screen. Why is that so? Virtual communication is convenient, efficient, and comfortable, not to mention easy! All we have to do is sign onto Aim or log into our Facebook/MySpace/Twitter account and just like that, we are instantly connected to hundreds or thousands of people. While that may seem like a phenomenon in itself, it can also be detrimental. Whatever is posted online is now available for pretty much anyone to access and view. Just like there's a certain extent to what we are allowed to say in person, there are certain limitations for what one is able to say via the Internet. I do also wonder if the mobility and modernity of the Internet is contributing to problems such as lowering one's ability to write/spell properly, piracy issues, and access to other people's personal information.
The Internet has made virtual communication possible and the digital revolution has undeniably changed society. Its immense impact is evident and unrefutable. What does the future in virtual communication have in store for us?
