Communication has never been the same since the advent of the internet. Like this message board - it wouldn't have been possible to talk to hundreds of strangers everyday back in the day.

I'm afraid that, like many people, I have to say that the computer has, or rather the Internet.  A computer on its own was fascinating enough but it was just a tool. The internet has allowed me to meet people I have never seen, who, had I met them, I probably would have passed by with a nod and a smile. I have made so many good friends through Instant Messenger ... some of them I hope to meet, since I plan to visit the States later this year.\n\nYes, the Internet!

Certainly.  Some internet abbreviations have entered daily spoken language.  People are doing much more writing and much less speaking.  A new level of langauge (e-mail speak) seems to be developing.  Even amoung educated, careful speakers, a certain number of appreviations, symbols and careless spellings seems to have become accepted.  While some younger users are taking this to the point of incomprehensibility (if you are not in the know), this will probably level off.  The number of international users will change some English used on the Internet as new norms develop.  The Internet is a new community of speakers/writers, and as it develops, it will change.

Because it promises more than it actually delivers.  \n\nCell phones make you more connected to people?  (Do they really?  Have you taken a call during dinner or a movie?)\n\nThe internet brings a world of information to you everyday? (Is that a movie trailer I see on your desktop?)\n\nCable/Sattelite TV is full of rich entertainment... (The Simple Life.)\n\nLikewise, Myspace.com is exactly as the above... it reconnects you to friends, who still don't wish to talk to anyone for some reason which I am sad to say inculdes both you and me, it allows people to rant in a blog that is really only read by you and one or two people who are your friends but are going through the same things so they can't offer you any real wisdom or comfort that they can't say better in person, and it allows 80,000 guys to visit girl's 'homepages' and repeatedly hit on them with well-thought and meaningful, romantic musings such as 'yr cute... can we chat?'\n\nOkay, so I'm a little jaded.  If it works for you, indulge.  Just don't be too expecting of it.

Not really:  I see it more as 'coming full circle.'\n\nFirst, in the olden days, (before TV, movies, & even radio!) people entertained each other all the time.  People who played paino or guitar or harmonica were the musical part of the 'program,' everyone knew (as we do now) at least one quick wit who was good for laughs, and if nothing else, the dumbest person in the group could be counted upon to say or do somethign interesting now & then.  And, all of this could be entertaining without reaching the same level of sophistication because it made up for that by allowing direct, immediate feedback.  Entertainment was more of a conversation; likewise, conversation was a bigger part of entertainment.\n\nWith the coming of all these professional entertainment technologies, people saw the possibilities of the entertainment becoming more sophisticated, but didn't recognize what they were giving up in exchange.  But it also didn't matter, because they didn't spend so much time at computers (or, to a lesser extent) on the phone.  Instead, they were conducting much of their business & personal affairs face-to-face.  So, they still had enough direct-feedback, face time in their lives.\n\nNow, we spend SO MUCH LESS time directly interacting with each other, we have (consciously  or subconsciously) come to realize that the polished and very impersonal entertainment no longer makes up for the missing interaction.  So, we come back around to a more 'personal' form of entertainment.\n\nWe're still not finished, though.  The level of feedback available has increased, but I'm guessing that it still isn't enough to fulfill our social needs.  There will either be another shift that makes entertainment even more personal (more 2-way webcamming may be one way that happens,) or people will begin to drift farther away from all the electronic entertainments, in favor of more personal time.  That would be a continuation of the trend away from movies & TV, and toward the internet, of which this site is an exellent example of 'conversations.'

I think they're so popular because people have become fixated on stuff that is instant, and zipping pictures of their cars, pets, kids, etc.... into cyberspace via email is the perfect way to get instant gratification, and brag/show off at the same time.

I believe that casual sex is definitely on the rise.  I'm sure myspace and other networking sites have contributed(how much, I can't say).  I would say that television and movies have had a greater effect on it than anything.  The fact that movies and TV shows glorify having "casual sex" would lend me to believe that it is definitely leading our society in that direction.

The dwindling lack of social skills brought about by our increasing use of communications and internet technology.  How much face-to-face interaction do we have anymore to carry out our responsibilities at work and at home?  Nearly all tasks of our daily lives can be conducted via email, internet, IM, etc.  Even though the world is becoming "smaller", we, as individuals, are becoming more isolated from one another.

No. We're gaining new ones. I have felt at times a tangible difference in the way we socialise since the advent of the net. If you're stuck for information, e.g. you can't find a place in town, you can ask someone, or you can use the net. But there's somewhere in between. The net can fill in some of the gaps in your knowledge and people in town can complete your knowledge. They themselves might have acquired some of their knowledge from the net. So the feeling you get is "we're all better connected. I wonder if I SHOULD know something BECAUSE it's probably on the net." Do you get what I mean? It's like we don't need to ask around as much for information with our voice because it's there for all to see on the network. I.e. it's a social tool that makes socialising more efficient.

alot of people use http://www.paltalk.com/ and there are many instant messengers now.
1051321
AIM is the most used and most popular.  People who have just AOL use it plus people who have other internet providers.  It has been around longer and has more loyal users.  you can alos add songs to your library and people can transfer back and forth if you allow them.    \n\nHowever Yahoo has a better cam chat and you can do offline messaging which is nice.  \n\nMSN is growing in popularity adding offline messaging and has a decent cam program.  \n\nVoice chatting is pretty weak across the board.  \nAOl instant merssanger is still the largest best for straight up chatting.  \n\nICQ is another but your known as "a number" and the connection is weak.

You're looking at it. Not Yahoo! Answers per se, but the global connectivity and free idea exchange of the internet.\n\nThings are changing fast right now people, faster than ever.\n\nExciting, huh?
