According to news, it is said that the number of an Internet messenger’s members exceed 25 million in the country. It is not too much to say that a half of the nation communicates with their surroundings by messenger. Users use mini-homepages and blogs as another way to show the others daily life on these things. Therefore, the on-line communication activity has settled to a new trend in the interpersonal relationship.
On-line communication even influences human relations off-line. Not only managing mini-homepages but also looking around other’s things, users increase interests of each other and good feelings. Sharing many common interests, it becomes a chance to increase the number of real contact. Finally, these actions give us a chance to establish much friendlier relationships off-line.
However, on-line communication, like alcohol, can be a catalyst in human relations, but also it can change to a poison, going too far. Before, people had more an interest in cyber clubs or mini-homepages than a party or ‘Dong-a-ri.’ In conclusion, it would be a chance to break the off-line relationships. True on-line communication, which you have to use, is not an action, but it has to be a vitamin in the meetings of daily life. When you face each other with a smile, the relationship would be deeper than a simple sentence on-line.
Using messenger, you can see many lists of people in the computer window. Are there many lists for estranged people off-line? If so, why don’t you send a message and have a meal together? If you use these developed tools properly, the on-line communication will be a genuine catalyst for human relations in daily life.
