The Impact of the Internet on Our Interpersonal Communication As a new comer to our world, the Internet has undergone a phenomenal development in recent years. People today are talking about the fundamental changes that its appearance and application have effected to all aspects of our society and economy. To my mind, its impact upon the interpersonal communication in our social life, among others, will be most keenly felt. To begin with, the Internet can remarkably facilitate our interpersonal communication. For one thing, with the Internet we can realize person-to-person communication any time we want to. In contrast, we may have to schedule our appointment strictly by prior arrangement if we are to visit some friends or even make a direct phone call. For another, interpersonal communication through the Internet is not limited by space. As long as we have the right IP addresses and passwords, we never fail to "meet" each other online. In this sense, the Internet is a common house for people worldwide, yet with separate chambers for any private conversation. No visa is required for an online international chat. Nor do we need to find a spacious room for the get-together of dozens of classmates. An electronic chatroom serves the very purpose. Secondly, the Internet can greatly speed up our interpersonal communication. Nowadays, many people, especially the young, are quite reluctant to write letters. Instead, they send emails. Their preference is reasonable because they can enjoy the rapidity made possible by the electronic transmission of messages through the Internet. Compared with the traditional snail mail, which generally takes two to five days in the same country, the email is done within seconds. True, the telephone is also a quick means of interpersonal communication, but it is too expensive to be good for cordial small talk. The simultaneous ICQ mode of online communication is equally quick but much cheaper. Thirdly, the Internet can largely economize our interpersonal communication. With the Internet, we no longer have to buy stamps and envelopes; we no longer have to book bus or train tickets; we no longer have to worry about the high-amount telephone bills. The Internet is not free, to be sure, for we do pay for various services. But the expenses involved in the new form of communication are much lower than by other means. In conclusion, the Internet may have strong influences on our interpersonal communication. For all its advantages discussed above, we should not go so far as to see it as a total replacement for all the traditional means of communication. After all, such things as friendly handshaking, eye contact, and smile exchanges found in face-to-face encounters but not through the Internet mean a lot to us humans.
解析
第1段:引入论题。可从一些基本事实人手,引出互联网对我们社会和经济产生巨大的影响。接着,提出自己的论点,即互联网将对我们的人际交往产生极为强烈的影响。
第2段:讨论互联网影响人际交往的第一个表现,即方便性。可通过其他通讯方式与互联网的对比,突显互联网的便利性(如二十四小时,足不出户,在世界上任何可以上网的角落,等等)。
第3段:讨论互联网影响人际交往的第二个表现,即高效性,如可同时给多人发邮件,可同时与多人在网上聊天,可在瞬间实现交际,而不需像传统邮件(snail mail)那样折腾数日甚至数月。
第4段:讨论互联网影响人际交往的第三个表现,即经济性。网上交往不需买纸、笔,也不需买邮票;网上交往不需支付路费、不需招待开支;网上交往也不浪费双方的宝贵时间。诚然,上网需要电费、上网费等,但在今天,这些费用是十分低廉的,与传统交往的费用相比要少许多。
第5段:总结上文的讨论,重申自己的论点。作适当引申,如随着互联网在我们人际交往中发挥越来越大的作用,我们不应忘记这种交往手段不可代替传统的交往方式。面对面的交流,如握手、眼神传递、微笑等仍是网上交往难以取代的。
