The Internet is a wonderful new world where the possibilities are endless. You can send e-mail messages to friends 20,000 miles away at the touch of a button. You can be in London, and play chess with someone you’ve never seen before in Mexico. Chat room friends have flown across the world to meet each other, and some people have even found partners for life on the Internet. A whole new dimension in human relationships has suddenly been created, and many people rightly wonder about how this will affect their lives.
For example, if you wanted to meet new people, how might you use the Internet and how would new virtual relationships be different than real ones?
If you moved to another country, the Internet could help you keep in touch with your loved ones. Electronic mail is almost instantaneous, and chat rooms make you feel almost like you’re with the people you’re conversing with virtually.
And then if you wanted to have a serious talk with a friend in another city, you could do it on-line. Some people prefer electronic means of communication because they can formulate their ideas better and express themselves more clearly.
The Internet is a valuable tool which has opened up a new universe. It’s worth discovering what it can do for you.
