The Internet opens up a whole new world of communication
and contact. And the reasons for this are given below.
Try to picture what used to
happen earlier in the days when people had to depend on the good ol’ postal
system. During those days, a person had to wait for one or two days for a
letter to get across to a person who lived in the same state itself. The second
person in turn would take one or two days to respond and this letter would take
on or two days to get back to the first person.
So in effect, a single
correspondence would stretch over a week. But now it’s a totally different
story. The time taken for the first letter and the response has been brought to
an amazing 2 minutes!
Waiting may make the heart
grow fonder but e-mail makes two people get close faster!
The Internet provides for
absolute privacy too. One can carry out communication with another person in
the absolute privacy of one’s bedroom or bath room or wherever one chooses to
be. There is no fear of eavesdropping (ugh) or over hearing (shudder!) thanks
to e-mail and chat facilities.
