Modern people often communicate more online than face to face. Electronic services allow almost any time to make contact with the person located in the other corner of the globe, which is incredibly convenient and saves a lot of time. However, according to scientists, the growing popularity of online conversations negative impact on the communication skills of users.



Professor Sherry Tёrkl employee at MIT, found that participants in online discussions often tend to ignore each other, and many lie too long and pick up phrases, which is not observed when communicating live.



According to Sherry, in recent years the situation will only get worse, because more and more children and young people from an early age accustomed to communicate, for example, through social networks and services such as "Skype". In his book "Sharing the loneliness» («Alone Together») psychologist cites his research regarding online communication.

Many of the participants in its surveys have confirmed that they prefer to use text messaging because it allows them to carefully choose the expression to convey to the interlocutor exactly the information they deem necessary. On this basis, the professor concluded that the majority of users when talking face to face do not feel as confident as when communicating online.

Sherry in his work raises the problem of isolation of the individual from society, which is observed in recent years due to the rapid development of Internet services: "We invented and perfected the technology that eventually robbed us" - says the researcher. According to her, the modern man is living in a virtual space, which creates the illusion of full communion, but in reality is a pitiful semblance of the real world.

Tёrkl argues that social networks can even provoke a sort of mental disorder, when enthusiasm for them over the edge, so you should not strive always and everywhere to be "in contact", thus you risk to forget how to communicate without the help of "electronic assistants." < br />
