In recent years, there has been a revolution in communication. On December 25th, 1990 Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. This development allowed computers all over the world to communicate with each other and share information. But has this really changed the way people communicate or has it just made communication faster, easier and more convenient?
Before the internet age people used telephones, letters and radio communication. All documents had to be posted, which could take anything from days to weeks to arrive at their destinations. People spoke mostly by telephone, which could be expensive especially if you were calling long distance.
These days communication is very different. E-mails have replaced letters although some people still like to write on paper, as it seems more personal. You can speak to anyone anywhere in the world using the internet and you can even have video chat.
Some people say that the internet has made communication less personal and that people don’t have so much face to face communication anymore. Many children spend hours on social networking sites instead of going out to meet their friends. Communication these days has never been easier but it is also important to retain that special experience of having a good chat with someone who is in the same room as you.
