Does Internet work good for our relationship or not? As the generation who is tied with internet, does our way of life change or not? Internet absolutely makes our life easier than the previous generations, but does any worse trend of our behaviour make us sit up and think?

The generation without internet lived in a friendly village or neighbourhood where everyone knew their names. But now, how many neighbours’ name do you know? How often do you chat with each other? It seems internet sucks people away from in-person contact and real-world disconnection, it makes us kindly lose the interests to make new friends. What will the people’s relationship look like in 10 years?

A large amount of the communication that takes place online is with the same set of friends and family who are also contacted in person and by phone. This is especially true for socially close relationships — the more close friends and family are seen in person, the more they are contacted by email. In this way, the internet absolutely changes our way of building relationship.

In addition, due to the dependence of Social Network rather than face-to-face talk, we are tend to talk to each other via mobile phone, Skype or communicate via Facebook. However, by doing this, they are missing out on their partner’s facial expressions or the gestures that the other makes. Emotions are reduced to Likes or Dislikes, smiley faces or other emotions.

For the generation is tied with internet, the ability of in-person contact has weakened. The way of making friends is changing. We are more isolated in the community but internet enhances our closer connections in a positive way.  The generational differences of behaviour exist in our lifestyle. The understanding of this is important for us to unconsciously aware the negative impact which is brought by the internet and avoided it. It’s also essential for us to understand the necessary of using different strategies for different groups of customer in workplace.
