Internet has changed the way we communicate with one another. Because of the internet, people can chat with other people across the country that doesn't cost them anything. If someone had to call someone across the country, they would have to have long distance calling. Now, many people can just email or post of someone's facebook to communicate. We can now relate to one another more when on social networks. People can find friends that have the same interests and find more friends to talk to about differnt hobbies.
I believe that the intenet has brought us closer to friends and family. I know I talk to many family members on the internet more than I see them in person. The same with friends too. After high school, I don't see my friends as often and now talk on the internet and see how they are doing.
In this economy, many people do not have the money to fly across the country or drive long distances in order to see their family. Skype is great for that purpose. Traveling long distances is costly and skype is not.
I do not believe that friendship is cheap because we can friend hundreds of people when not knowing who they are in person. You true friends will always know who your true friends are and they know who their true friends are.
