范文 | In such a digital age, which features the wide available of internet to individuals, users are able to deal with a bunch of daily tasks online, ranging from doing shopping, arranging and completing working projects as well as interacting with strangers and friends. In my view, this tendency is largely beneficial for people’s work and life. To commence with, it is conceivable that telecommuting saves time for employees. Without spending time on the way to and from work, office workers have more disposable time and the flexible schedule, in which case, they could work the hours they wished and have a better rest. In addition, online communication enlarges the circle of friends. More specifically, social networking websites is deemed as an effective way to make connections with people with similar interests and goals. What’s more, long distance communication relieves couples or families from lovesickness and homesickness. Even though living thousands of miles away from hometown, they can stare at the faces of their beloved and listen to their voice. In terms of online shopping, it has been thought as the indispensable part of modern life due to its convenience. Instead of going to malls, the only thing consumers have to do is viewing the high-definition pictures and click the button of payment, the commodities they choose would be delivered at home in several days or appointed time. This is especially useful for people working on a tight schedule or in times of inclement weather. Undeniably, customers can purchase goods all over the world; in consequence, there is no need for them to travel to foreign countries for some fancy dresses or handbags. On the flip side, a lack of face-to-face contact does generate harmful effects, among which the most obvious is that the loss of inter personal;skills in reality. In fact, body language such as eye contact and gestures, and social psychology laid emphasis on in real way are invalid and ignored in virtual world, making people incompetent and unskilled in face-to-face situations. In conclusion, although the dimension of communication would be diminished, I strongly contend that the increasing popularity of communication via internet benefits people from all walks of life. |
