internet as a communication tool

I think the internet is a great communication tool. as in if you have many friends and relatives overseas. Now with the increasing popularity of blogs and tag-boards, your friends can know about your daily life even if they are thousands of miles away, they can leave messages on your tag board and you on theirs. With the difference in time zones, it is not easy to catch each other at the precise time online.

but, however convenient the internet is. it could never makeup for real life communication and conversation. As language has its many nuances that could never be transmitted digitally. When you are excited about seeing someone, the first thing you usually do when seeing someone is hug that someone. but over the internet, you could never do that. But it is better than nothing
