GROUP II

A. Read the text carfully.

A few weeks ago, a momentous occasion occurred in my household: my parents finally
realized how lacking in technology we were and decided to install the Internet. My younger
siblings were ecstatic. The fact that a wealth of information was now available at the click of a
mouse wasn't what excited them, though, it was the realization that along with the Internet came
the bonus of having America Online's Instant Messenger (IM).
Our lives have changed. Instead of reading books or playing outside, my brother and sisters are
permanently glued to our computer, "chatting" with their friends and acquaintances. The other
night, while I was doing research on the Web, my younger sister demanded that I let her use the
computer, saying she had to "make plans." Whatever happened to making a few phone calls?
"But, Ali," she said, "there are some people you don't just call."
Situations like this exasperate me. Why form relationships online? Don't a person's facial
expressions, emotions and tone of voice make up a big part of his or her personality? When I
see the TV commercial with the girl saying, "I love having Instant Messenger, it lets me be
myself," I wonder how someone can be herself while hiding behind a computer screen. When
did teenagers become so superficial that they can't show their personalities in face-to-face
conversation?
I hope our overly techno society can return to the old forms of communication - talking in person
or on the phone. While I still get the "You've got to be kidding me" look from my siblings when I
say email instead of IM, I'm glad that for me, the personal computer is not a place to form
shallow relationships, but one of education and information.
