Information Society - cultural dimensions :Communication


Nowadays we have many possibilities to connect with other people. In my last post I wrote about blogging which is also one of these possibilities. Now I would like to mention couple other ways of communication.

Chats
According to Wikpedia chat(for example interia) is sort of internet chitchat and one of internet service but I think it’s not necessary to explain an internet user which is chat because it’s very popular. In web we can find chats probably connected with every topic we could imagine. This variety of topics give as opportunity to join people who shares our interests and get to know them which I think it’s one of the main pluses of chatting. We can also learn some new things, meet people from other sometimes very distant countries trough the mediation of Internet. It’s also chance for people who are shy in real life. On the other side we have to remember that we don’t really know who our interlocutor is. I also think that it cannot relieve contact face to face. Another thing is that sometimes people forget that it’s only virtual life.


Facebook,My Space,Twitter , Nasza Klasa

Users of these portals exploit them to find friends, communicate with them or to mikroblogging. I won’t describe sides of it because it’s similarly as in the case of chats I can only add that in this case people in my opinion share with others often completely strangers too much information’s from their lives like photos from their visit at the dentist. However I cannot be too critical because I joined Facebook last week.

In the end my opinion about this effect is positive. I see dark sides of it but if we use it carefully we can feel safe in network. On my opinion have influence fact that I know many people who make a friend by network and many couples as well for example my sister is happily married with a man who she met by Gadu-Gadu which is very popular communicator in Poland.
