Thoughts about the Information Age

New Roman">                        Advantages and disadvantages of Information Age

Not for once that I find the convenience of Information Age. When I open the mailbox or my blog, I can link whatever section I want, others’ blogs, sections where I can find abundant information. Take QQ mailbox for example, I find it has renewed the functions. We can not only send and receive mails, keep journals, but also read friends’ blogs and celebrities’ blogs. We can also search needed information in blogs of different types. With the Internet, we really have a quick access to what we need.

     I bet not a single one doesn’t feel this way. On the surface, we have got so much; however, giving a deep thinking, we can find we still lack much. Nowadays, communications develop fast while the communication of people face to face and heart to heart is in shot supply. On one hand, we are becoming more and more global thus making more and more friends through the Internet. Phone friends, pal friends, email friends, and so on. On the other hand, however, the intimate friends are rare. We can talk on our common interest, on current affairs, national and international affairs, while we cannot demonstrate out inner world, our loneliness, confusion, privacy. We have to turn to ourselves and God when it comes to personal problems. What’s worse, the more you communicate with others through computer, the less your communicative skills and desire in reality grow. So how to balance the two is a big challenge for most people who are addicted to computer.

     Anyway, Information Age is fantastic in a wide degree. We can make the best of it.
