A vital aspect of human civilisation is communication. The ability to share information with one another as efficiently as possible has been somewhat of an arms race between mankind’s many nationalities. The current frontier of the communication arms race is the internet.
The internet has led to the rise of many new terms used in our vocabulary. “Browser”, “Webpages”, “Google”, “Apps”, “Blogs”, “Email”, “Firewall”, “Social media”, “Spam”, “Wiki”, “Download”, and many more words have come to exist since the birth of the internet. The internet has also paved the way to instant messaging, the apex of human communication.
Instant messaging has changed human society. What used to take countless hours can be sent and received with a flick of a button. This has drastically altered the way we view social interaction. Is it alright to completely remove face to face interaction in favor of online interaction?
I do not know the answer, but hat i do know is that instant messaging has changed the world.
