I can't help but notice that people are more willing to communicate more via...

I learned about this and I studied about this kind of problem for my project last year. Based on he surveys I made, people tends to be easier communicating via internet (chat or website) because they don't see each other face and they could always edit what they want to say before really post it. It would be easier to avoid mistakes and the nervous than when you are talking face to face with person. In the internet, you can easily avoid the awkward situation because you don't see their face expression, that is why :)

This is what I love about the internet. I can chat to people across the world on any number of topics. We can agree, disagree, share information, learn, and give helpful advice. I simply don't have the opportunity to do this in person. I do exchange greetings with strangers on most days, and if someone wants to stop and chat I am always delighted to do so. Most people just want to get on with their lives, without having time for interesting conversations. I think we have all become used to watching TV or listening to the radio, which is an inactive form of communication. The internet gives us a better opportunity to interact, easily and comfortably, with more people than we will ever meet in daily life.

Hi there brisk123! I have noticed the same thing. I think that people are more comfortable opening up with strangers. Most especially with people that we do not see in person. We can be who we want. We can say what we want. Without the fear of being judged by other people. I think it is important that we do not open up completely to people we do not know.

Because you can do it when you have time. Many times I will try to call someone and they are busy or not home. When I write an email or post, I know they can look at it when they have time to do so. It's just like letter writing, it's just easier and faster.

Also sometimes it is cheaper. I know when I used to call my sister and had to pay long distance charges, it got expensive. Of course now we both have cells and the calls are included, but then again it does eat up minutes. So when we just want to ask a quick question, we just send an email, of if I know she is online an IM.

I would guess that it's easier for people to open up about themselves and communicate freely on the internet because there is a lesser "threat" on personal space "invasion". Sometimes people arent comfortable when others (especially strangers) look at them during conversations. Well, tyhat's what i think, anyway.

There are many reasons i can think of why we people are convenient in continuing conversations via internet than when in person, the main reason being privacy protected, we never would want someone to get close to us personally unless and until we know much about them and their character, only after starting to like them that we share our personal IDs even here in mylot...so, i dont think that could be always possible with the person who just stayed a short while with you in the bus stop who would not feel secured enough to give them their cellphone numbers for further conversation

I think making a face-to-face connection is more difficult because you get to see the person and judge him or her more accurately. So you look at the person's mannerisms, clothing, language, etc. and notice things that you might not like. When online, you can't see each other. You can't see what car he drives or what clothes he wears. You don't know if he's fair skinned or short or chunky. So it's easier to be online buddies because all you need to have is a common interest.

Well it is more easy to express one's feeling through technology like the net or even sms.Many people find it more easier to start a conversation whilst online,cuz you are not directly facing the person.That is why nowadays,if people want to break up or propose also,they mostly do it through the net or sms,because they will not have to see the person's face while doing it.Somethings are difficult to do looking at someone in the face,but through the net,that is not the case.

Nowadays communication via internet is very active and whether you are a successfull businessman on a trip everyday or maybe a housewife that takes care of home and her children most of the day, you pretty much use it one way or the other. Personally I believe that types of communication differ in order of needs to communicate. In order to confirm my opinion I will provide some examples. Firstly, when we have a communication that is not urgent it can be done very easily by e-mail. This situation is highly advisable when you have a communication with your relative, friend or some other person that is physically located long distance from you. This communication can be on a daily-basis also.
