Thanks to all the social
networks, today I am contacting and communication with people from all over the
world. Gradually those people become close friends, and I learned to share with
them even some private moments in my life. Yes, the internet has made our world
seem smaller, and it sounds as if we all live next doors!!
Couple of years ago,
before this revolution in communication technology, I read an article about the
technology we live today, which stated that once this revolution happened, people
would be lazy, and lose interest in moving; people would be just fat and dump
since everything is available within hand reach.
Now, as we enjoy this
technology, I can say that it saves time and effort for me for instead of
searching books lying on shelves covered with dust, books which no one reads,
but a bookworm like me, now i can just press a finger, one slight press and all
the information that I need is there, one step away, just ready for my mind to
consume! So, i find internet is of great use to me, and I can say today it is
indispensable to me.
Moreover, the social
networks changed my character from introvert person, keeping feelings of anger,
pain, and sometimes frustration to herself, because she is too shy to share
these with immediate family or friends, as they can be the cause of these
feelings or won't be able to understand, to someone who is ready to share,
someone more expressive of what goes inside. I started to use language as a means
of expression, something I rarely use in my daily real-life contacts.
Social networks didn't
give me more friends only, no what they have given me is more than that. I have
discovered new territories about myself, as if I found what has been long lost
in my life: communication. It becomes a habit for me to wake up and check what
my FB friends have done and what they are up to, their posts enlighten me, and
break the monotonous life that I used to be leading before. Yes, internet
changed me, not by providing me with more knowledge only, but by giving me a
life that always wanted to live, a life of interaction with people from
different places of the world. Chatting with them, sharing a post, or join a
debate, all feel like traveling around the globe, which has been always a dream
to me.
