Open F2F Class Notes (Ben)

Of all the components depicted in the drawing, the most eye-catching is that people are working in the web like spider’s web. The spider ‘s web, which symbolizes difference impacts, is consisted of a variety of parts that people use computer to work and play. Just as the caption indicates,internet is useful to connect peoples close, on the other it is not very prefect as it will set a distance with people.

In fact, this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon nowadays in our society. Two fundamental factors, from my perspective, could account for this social trend. From the good side, people can make trade using internet, for instance taobao web sites which is a very famous and convenience traffic that people buy anything. From the bad side, nowadays younger people use online social tool frequently, which lead to that they communicate with they parents less time face by face.

When considering opinion of both side, it can be concluded that the question quite depends on personal choice. We should use it’s different aspects, when we work and learn something we use it’s convenience. But when we company with our partners we should put the internet on other side and enjoy the time with parents.
