Does internet keep people in touch ???? Many sites like facebook, windows live messenger e.t.c. can people contact with others by them . If for example a friend of us live in Canada from these sites we can talk with him very easy and free !!!

This is good ??? Internet is better to communicate on the web than go out and meet you Friends ??

I think that internet keeps

I think that internet keeps people in touch. I have cousins in America and England, and the best way to communicate with them is on internet.

Better go out!

Of course not! If you can go out and see your friend and mates! But if you are far from your friends and you can't connect them, you can't see them, even you can't call them because of the much price!
If you are in internet, even you can use it for faster connection with your friends, for work or some other things!
Before time I was sitting really much on the PC, liking the virtual life but now I'm using it mostly for some work, taking picture from some trip or celebration, for school things and some things like this mostly!

I suggest not using it really much just for stupid things like games that are losing your time, or for visiting site for other stupid things!

And again I'll say! I gave you my suggestion and opinion but this is not connected with the water subject!

impersonal

It's true that Internet has its benefits. We can contact with everyone, at anytime we want around the world and find friends, lost for a long time. But it's an impersonal contact in which the only thing that you can exchange is just words.....

MEET FRIEND ALIVE

Yes, it is a source where can find people who you lost contact with... It is known that everybody have Facebook and Myspace but it is not always a good think. People are spending too much time on some unimportant things. And of course there can be a lot of sick, mental problems people , and pedophiles so i think that everyone who use that kind of communications need to be careful and to add just people who they know!!!!

way of communication

Certainly, internet keeps people in touch. As you already managed some internet spaces like Facebook, myspace or others allows people from all over the world to communicate together in an easy way. However, I don't think we should discuss about this topic because it won't be of importance in the Science Parliament.

Way of communication reply

Actually, at least in my opinion, internet is one of the most significant scientific breakthrough of our century. When we talk about science we do not only mean chemistry(molecules etc) or physics but also computers and internet. So i think that we could, not necessarily, talk about that subject.

Yes, it does

Yes, internet keeps people in touch and with sites like facebook we can have contacts with a lot of people and create some friendship, so I think that Internet is a good instrument for communication.

Age

We should consider and one other aspect:
At what age should children start using internet?
Internet is uncontrolable and can be very dangerous...

age

technology (microsoft) has thought of that.

for the ones running windows vista , there is a program (free of charge) that can control everything , like where the kind could have access to , or what he uses the computer or for how long...
that way, the kind can be absolutely safe!

for every problem there is the solution...

Internet

There is a heated debate cocerning the controversial issue of whether internet is a way to keep people in touch...
Most people have msn or facebook and they use it every day...
In my opinion if we control the use of internet it can be proved a very beneficial way to communicate...Today, we discuss in this forum via the internet!!
On the other hand, we should be really careful because the excessive use can lead us to addiction and expose us to many dangers...
The most important thing is to check if we can live without it...

I agree

I agree with you maria,

the new generation uses the internet as a mean of comunication...

we prefer writing on the computer from talking to the phone...

via internet you can contact with strangers , thing that you cannot do with the mobile phone for example...

furthermore, it is cheaper , and this makes the teens to prefer it.

In some areas , I think canada for example, some teens do not even go to school, they communicate with their prof via internet. this is the good aspect of the use of inernet.

the bad things , you know...

Internet as a democratic medium

I see the Internet as a possibility to get more people involved in democratic processes. In germany we had a big discussion about internet censorship with a petition online that reached more than 120000 people.
We have more information available yet we need some ways to distinguish fact from fiction. We need more media involvment and more experts making factual knowledge available. But I like the way people can interact without ideological, intellectual or geographic borders.
