Author’s Note: This essay is being submitted on January 20, 2013, for Alicia Loeffle’s D132/CGS1240 Section 06, Computer Applications and Business System Concepts course.

The internet impacts my daily life by keeping in touch with friends, family, and co-workers from past to present on Facebook. It helps me interact with family that lives in California, Texas, Colorado, Owatonna Minnesota, Florida, and even close family that lives 60 miles away. I am very close with my Aunt, Janet Diaz, in Texas. She works as a stylist at JC Penny Salon, and is very outgoing. Yes even though having friends on Facebook, they are just a face to a name. I truly only have three girlfriends that speak with me and hang out with my family and I. I can lean onto my Aunt for advice, and just shoot the wind with till I fall asleep. Co-workers, (laugh out loud), you always want to be in contact with them no matter if you are the greatest friends or just talk here and there. It amazes me how much people change over a short or long period of time!
I am always on either www.google.com, or I am on www.ask.com. When I have been told about information, I write it down and jump online when I have time to study as you might say! As a new family, and mother, I always worry if my son gets into something he shouldn’t. Ha-ha, the last time my son got into Crayola colors with-out me knowing as when he was a year and half years old. I was so worried and scared I didn’t know what to do. Immediately I went to www.ask.com, asked “Is Crayola Colors Crans Toxic to a Baby?” I was in a sie of relief when a paged popped up of doctors, statistics, and other mothers saying they are not harmful if ate, and keep an eye on their bowl movement. Being a new mother there are things I learn every day from my son, nothing is the same when day to day things change. With Johnathen being almost to three years old, I have been lingering around that site

According to her she spends a good amount of free time on various different social networks. She says that she would rather spend her time talking to people online than in person. Stites then goes on to explain how she finds a thrill in finding new friends online. In my opinion social networks overall have a negative effect on your life. They create people afraid to talk to others in person, they make it easy for people to bully others and they waste your time.…

    In a recent study conducted by Matthew Brashears of Cornell University, 2,000 adults were asked the number of friends whom they share a close relationship with. The average response was 2.03 and it decreased from a similar study from 1985, which received an average response of three close friends (Silard. “From Face-to-Face to Facebook”). It is proven that humans thrive on human interaction, so cutting that face-to-face off could damage humans negatively by causing them to suffer more health problems due to physical inactivity and no interaction. “People who, like the Facebook COO, claim that we have never been so connected with each other are missing a vital point: the people making all these "connections" through the Internet and social media are, in the non-virtual plane sometimes referred to as "reality," sitting alone in front of a pixelated screen.” (Silard.). Even though we are able to interact with different of people from around the world, we become isolated from the people around us. People cut off their friends and family and would rather spend time on the…

    People who use social media are more connected. “Pew Research Center found that the average user of social media has more close ties and is less socially isolated.”(Social Media as Community, Hampton). Without any internet, we wouldn’t be as close with friends and we would be more socially isolated without social media. Users of social media know people from a greater variety of backgrounds. The internet helps us connect with friends, family, and people around all around the world. Without it, we could never reach out to friends or family in other states. People around the world would be less socially diverse…

    Technology can help you keep close friendships with friends who move away or with relatives who do not live near you. "You can watch your baby cousin grow up via Instagram and stay- up-to-date on hundreds of people at once" ("Is Technology Killing Our Friendships?"). You can share daily experiences with photos on social media sites like Instagram or Snapchat, unlike with the time lag of writing letters and mailing them. Facetime is a good way to connect with people if you aren't able to see them face-to-face. Additionally, with heavy homework loads and busy extracurricular activity schedules, teens don't have time to physically be with their friends. Furthermore, in most families, both parents work and aren't available to transport their kids to friends' houses. "These platforms help people stay connected like never before" ("Is Technology Killing Our Friendships?"). Through digital communication, teens can still check in with their friends electronically, while having busy schedules. Communicating on electronic devices allows you to engage with friends and family in real time at anytime.…

    One reason why people use the internet to socialise is because it’s easy to meet people from all over the world who share the same interests.

Letters are only written at Christmas and even then many people prefer an e-letter. Technology has changed our lives entirely. It often can have a bad influence.

    Socialization is very common among human beings. We socialize in all sorts of places and think nothing of it. From the moment we enter school, we have officially started our days of interaction with others. We instantly become surrounded by individuals we don’t know and can learn so much just by talking and listening to people. Parents encourage their kids to meet people and gain some friends.…

    In my opinion, being born in such a technical century is lucky. Initially, when I need to find information, I don’t have to go to libraries and look up piles of books in order to find my answers. Instead of going to libraries, I can take out my notebook; after that the only thing I have to do is Google my questions. Subsequently, I like reading novels, having the Internet makes it easier for me to buy books. When I ordered them online I get to know when is it available for me to pick them up. In addition, it saves up my time shopping in bookstores. Consequently, I can keep in touch with friends who are abroad by using social networking sites. Most importantly, it keeps me posted with what happened to them.…
