People’s Love to Communicate Never Changes



In the past, it was a small stamp that helped family members and friends to keep in touch with each other. With the coming of the telephone, people could not only read words, but also hear each other’s voices. Later, the rise of the Internet joins people in different places with QQ, Skype, Blog and Facebook. Nowadays, WeChat gives people even more ways to communicate.


Most young people want to enjoy the warm love from their family and friends, but not too much control from them. They want to follow the time closely, but they also long for peace of mind. The new ways of communication make this possible. Often, they only need a simple “Hello” to change yesterday’s strangers into today’s friends. And they can also keep silent in a friend circle.


There are pros and cons in this change. Many people worry about their privacy. Many parents worry about their children’s friend circles: They are too large and too different! However, the new ways of communication could give them freedom and chance to make smart choices. Parents can also have a try themselves!
