I moved to a new apartment last weekend and I can’t access to the internet for three days. Those three days really made me feel anxiety. I can’t do research online, can’t check emails, can’t chat with my friends and family, and can’t check any social network sites. These made me feel anxiety because I was always worried about if someone need to contact me but they can’t find me.<br />It’s very interesting to watch the Facebook breakup video but so true. People rely heavily on technologies which lead to less face to face communication. One person post or tweet something interesting online, immediately, his/her “friends” could comment on the post. Anyone could say anything via internet. This will definitely hurt a relationship if they didn’t communicate well in person. This kind of situation also could happen to public figures. Being overconnected can make a relationship unstable, but also could facilitate positive relationship. I chat with my friends in China via internet each week which made me still keep a good relationship with them. I think if I was not overconnected, I could probably lose all of my friends in China.Tianyang Wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023887436560790043noreply@blogger.com
