Internet is a very big and simple service that has been spread all over the world, and it is here to stay.

In 1980 Arpanet came, it was a big network used by the US army so that they could communicate without being buged.

Many years later the Internet came, the Internet had many more services than the Arpanet, for exampel: Fileshare, Games, Communications, Forums/Bloggs and Pornography.

Teens often use the Internet for communication in so called Communitysites, a place where people gather to talk and to get their opinion out , making friends and sometimes even a find aromance.

There are some benefits with this:
If you are shy it could be difficult to start talking to new people and therefore hard to get new friends. But in the digital world, everyone can get there opinion out without having to face your reader in real life. But the internet is not only a service for the shy, right now there are over 1 260 000 000 internet users all around the world and that increases the possibilities to meet someone with the same interest or opinion like you. That's why the internetdating has become so popular the last years.

SMS (Short message service) is also a funny phenomenon. Instead of calling a person you send small messages to them, I think that's impersonal and unnecessary. In the year 2000 around 17 billion SMS were send and now it is over 500 billion, that's a very radical increase. Why not just call the person youre sending an SMS to? It takes half the time and it is 200 times more personal if you ask me.

There are hundreds of other ways to communicate over the digital world but I am tired of writing now so this is the end...The end

Can you call a person you haven't met or even seen a friend?
