I thoroughly enjoy a good natter with family and friends, whether it be face to face, over the phone or virtual. But when I can't get to see them as often as I would like, I do crave the personal face to face interactions with them.
Virtual interaction has come a long way in the past 30 years. How has the changes effected you?

Well I actually I grow up already in a modern era where the internet has reigned. So I can't say much on that although I do think face to face conversation is so much better than the virtual ones. But people in the old times don't emails, mobile phones and such, they use letters. Or homeline or something. I just wonder sometimes if things were better back then. They must be so much more patient then we are. Everything must be instant nowadays.

Thanks for the comment
I don't believe that everything has to be instant.. Its more that we have become more inpatient than out elders. With things being made to be quicker nd do things fast, we have become more inpatient with things being slow. No patience anymore and that is something we need in life.

Yes, just look at the way we react if the internet is working at a 10 seconds per site pace.

Even i like it very much,its like a stress buster or way to spill out our emotions and talk our mind,if we do that atleast once a week,stress will get relieved and the pain can be cured,it is mandatory for all i believe

Thanks for your responce
It is healthy to have face to face as we don't just hear emotions, we see them too. Also having social interaction helps us to be moew aware of our world around us and how we fit in it. So it can be a bit unhealthy if you are online all the time and never see anyone....
