6. The internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of mass media.

People on the past or in the era of mass media communicated personally and through telegrams, newspapers, letters, radios, telephones, and for some desperate ones, a message in a bottle set adrift on memory bliss as sang by PM Dawn or in the sea. They had no other means of communicating back then because they haven’t had the internet then.

But now the internet media has stepped in and took over the world by storm. People from all over the globe can communicate and converse with each other despite their distances. They can show others, who they are personally by making personal web pages, what they feel in message boards, express their insights and ideas on blogs, have fun in chatting, and send different kinds of messages through e-mail. That is how people communicate nowadays in this new era of internet media.

Long distances pose no threat to conversation thanks to the internet. People can talk to each other from different sides of the world. A man from the South Pole can send an e-mail to a woman in North Pole. Basically, there are almost no barriers for the internet in terms of communication. Speed is not that bad also when communicating through internet. People can talk through chat from different kinds of places and see what the other wants to say lively. E-mail also takes just a couple of minutes or sometimes hours due to internet trafficking but it’s not bad at all compared to sending a letter that takes a couple of days to arrive. Webcams are also used by people to communicate and see what the others are doing personally and lively. Parents from across the globe can see the appearance of their children in just a couple of seconds. Internet has truly revolutionized how people communicate. The tie-ups of people are growing at a rapid rate and connecting people all around the planet.
