Making Friends via the Internet: Caution!
Pen pals are no longer in style. With the popularization of the Internet, more and more people start to make friends via the World Wide Web. While making friends via the Internet can be a thrilling experience, problems exist. As far as I am concerned, making friends online would isolate people and is also a potential threat to the safety of netizens.
To start with, making friends online separates people from face-to-face contact. The Internet, no matter how interesting and inviting it may seem, is after all a virtual place which can by no means replace real life. And being obsessed with friends online and sitting in front of the computer would probably lead to the ignorance of one’s real personal network. Take the movie Social Network, which records the experiences of Mark, the founder of Facebook for example. Even though he has established the largest online community and had over one million friends online, he gets alienated and betrayed by his friends in real life. Researches also show that one usually spends around 15 hours less per week with his family and friends if he gets addicted to the Internet. So even though the Internet may be a great place to talk, depending too much on online friends would bring unwanted consequences.
Secondly, making friends online is also risky. As a famous saying goes, "On the Internet, no one knows that you are a dog". With all sorts of pseudo-names and profile pictures, people can easily hide who they really are and what they really want. Reports can be read frequently about how a girl is kidnapped, raped or even murdered after dating with her "online lover". The number of incidents of the Internet fraud soars with the expansion of the number of the netizens. With the help of the Internet, one can so easily disguise himself so that you wouldn’t know that your new online BFF (best friend forever) is a serial killer. It is hence clear that friends made via the Internet are not at all reliable or trustworthy. People may even encounter life-threatening danger through making friends online. Naturally, it is better for us to remain cautious when making new friends online.
As a conclusion, while the Internet is with no doubt an efficient tool, people should always think twice before they jump right on board since it may make them isolated and bring about potential dangers.
