In modern society, many people move into new countries in order to study and work and many of them are concerned that they will lose their old friends. However, they don''t need to concern about this problem because improved communication equipment can keep their relationship with their old friends. Also, old relationship are less likely to be broken
First of all, improved communication system such as internet-phone can provide people with opportunities to interact with their old friends even though they move into new places. While in the past, not only people had to spend substantial cost to call for friends who were in oversea but also internet was not improved, recently, people can use international calling with cheap cost and meet their friends on internet freely. Thus people can interact with their friends who live in oversea with a little burden. For example, I have several friends who are studying in United States. Although, there are a great amount of distance between me and them, I feel as if they are in my country together. This is because near everyday, I can talk with them on the phone and see their pictures which express their lives in their personal homepage. Therefore, I realize that using electric equipment can keep relationship with friends.
Also, old relationship are unlikely to be broken. After graduating from school, even though people can have many chances to meet a variety of people in society, most people can not open their mind to others. This is because, in most of cases, their relationships are decided by their own profit or preference. On the other hand, in people's youth, they make friends without any distinct goals. Thus, they miss their old friends and effort to keep relationship with them. According to a report, over seventy percent of adults have been kept relationship with friends who they meet in schools. On the other hand, under thirty percent people have been kept relationship with friends who they meet after graduating from schools. They said that many old people try to make friends in society like companies but interest relationships such as money, competition, and fame spoil their relationships. And this demonstrates that keeping old relationship is more easy than keeping new one in society. |
