The Internet has changed the way people are able to communicate with one another on a daily basis. Sometimes we are able to write our feeling or thoughts on these social networks like Twitter or Facebook or even in an email instead of communicating with each other in person or over the phone. In some ways the Internet has brought us closer to one another and made us get along better with more people, but do you really know someone based purely on what they write on the Internet? For all you know, it could be someone else writing those emails, or creating that Facebook page. Facebook and Twitter have made there social networks capable of allowing us to become friends with people we will never talk to or even plan to talk to in our life. I will say that the use of Facebook/ the Internet has allowed me to communicate with my brother who is in the Army, and my distant family that live far away.
I don't believe the Internet has become a deterrent to face to face communication. It allows us to plan activities or trips with large groups of people. For example, if your bored you can put a post on Facebook to hangout, and someone will text you or comment on your post with plans. Or you can sent invitations through emails, Twitter, or Facebook for a party you are planning. I see the Internet as a way to communicate plans so that you can socialize at a later date.
