Cyber Chalk Board

Few years back, my idea of socialization was limited only to the people I see and talk to personally. When I rarely see the person, I found it hard to keep the communication. Friendships due to distance easily slipped through my fingers. I felt sad that my relationships with other people have a short lifespan due to the changes in my life until the World Wide Web was discovered.

The discovery of internet changed the lives of people in ways they could have never imagined. It has brought us the whole new idea of socialization through social networking. In my own experience, it has made me closer to people who became so distant in the past. Through social networking sites such as Facebook, Friendster, Multiply, Plurk and the like, I have found ways to stay in touch with my childhood friends. It even made a way for us to know what’s going on with each other even though we are miles apart. Shared pictures and blogs always keep us updated. The internet has widened my social networks and even paved way for me to meet new people. I am personally thankful to all the people behind these social networking sites because it feels so good to talk to old friends and rebuild the friendship that once I thought was lost.
