The way people interact with each other in today’s world is completely different over the computer then they do in real life and it has been seen all over the world with facebook, online dating services, and twitter. Personal conversations to people in today’s world can seem so uncomfortable because they are so used to their online personality. You can start and end a conversation whenever you want when you’re online compared to in real time. I feel that this is so true and many people would rather talk to a girl online then in person only making when they finally meet up to be so socially awkward. The way that people can meet and interact with people online break all the rules of past interactions back in the day when you actually had to go out to meet and socialize with people. Online chatting gives more space between conversations and makes it easier to be whoever you want to be and avoid the personal interaction that may sometimes be awkward for a person. As technology keeps advancing their finding more ways to make socializing over the net easier and more personal to do, thus almost creating a personal interaction yet on a screen or video. People tend to anthropomorphize their computers and blame them for things that happen in them. Say a conversation ends and the person signs off on them they will tend to talk to the computer thinking something is wrong instead of thinking that person just didn’t want to talk. We do this on a daily basis for everything we own whether it is the computer, car, TV or even an appliance being used. People today depend on technology and the advances that will come with it to operate their daily lives.
