How do I think the new forms of communication via the internet will affect society? Well, I think our lifestyle already revolves around the internet and it's many forms of communication. One thing it's changed the most is how we gather our information. I remember the good ole days when the library was your only source for research. Now all you have to do is search through Google and your computer will find all the information you need.
The internet has also affected the way people interact. It's less talk and more blogging and instant messaging. Yes the message is easier and more convenient to send, but I think it's affecting how we verbally communicate with one another. I catch myself saying "MySpace me later" rather than simply saying "call me."
These features have us spending way too much time online (I am one of those internet addicts). Speaking of internet addiction... I found this video from the NY Post on internet the topic. It's about 3 minutes, but it's interesting... check it out.
