On the one hand, it is inevitable that the benefits brought by the Internet are tremendous, however, adversely affects face-to-face communication. Because, nowadays, people can meet anyone they love just by a click as long as they get access to the Internet. This convenience, nonetheless, reduces people’s demand to see other people directly as they can still gossip, discuss or see anyone without necessarily leaving their houses.
