Internet and Communication

I believe that the internet has definitely altered the way we communicate with our friends and family. In the past we would drive to someone's house or meet them for dinner if we wanted to catch up, or even place a phone call when we needed to inform them of something.  Now we just send an email or text.  Everything has been digitized and made convenient. I used to call my mom a lot but now we mainly text because she works and it’s easier than me having to call and bother her.  The same thing with my husband, throughout the day we will text each other and in a sense it’s easier than calling him and bothering him if he is busy. With social media such as facebook, we have all become really nosey people.  We can’t wait to get our facebook fix for the day.  There is always some type of drama to see on facebook and it has made us look forward to seeing what people’s new status will be next. So the internet has definitely changed the way we act and communicate with each other.
