Techology = Socialising!
Since a few years -techology developed etc.- people ask theirselves "Do technology prevent us from socialising?" and the answer is always "yes". In my opinion; people don't think about this in depth. It's always easy to blame other things for your loneliness and dissociality.
If i talk for mysef; i wasn't really social before i met internet. To be honest, i sucked at human relationships. I use internet since i was 11 and the first thing i did was "chatting". So, years by years, i improved myself on relationships with the help of internet and i got many many great friends.
-I wanna give an example from my nowadays life. I live in a dorm and i don't speak to many people- even if i wanna. I find people from our dorm in Facebook -which is sth. like Hi5- and i talk to them on internet.- which is easier than real. And the day after that; i "can" talk to them at real easily!
-Another example: I found many great friends -including the ones who read this:)- and i couldn't have found them if've 'hanged out' instead of surfing on the internet. Nobody can get these kinda great friends by hanging out aimlessly.
-I learned so much (most of my knowladge) from internet and this gives me self confidence; so when i get into somewhere social, i can act gutsier..
I can give many examples about this.. All i want is; that people should give up blaming internet and get aware of its holiness! ;)
Am i wrong?

Of course you are right.. first i was on internet, and one year later i had Tadej.. i never could have talked with him, if i hadn't met him before on the net, and talked with him there for a long time. So it was a lot easier to talk with him, because i 'knew' him already somehow.
I agree with you. Internet helps people to socialize, mostly those people who have difficulties with socializing in real life.
Technology helped Susi and me to know each other better, without it we wouldn't have each other now. When we met in real was easy to talk (after some time, we needed it to get less nervous), because we knew a lot about each other already. Really, technology helped so much :)
Here people still do not trust to technology. Our teachers find internet sources not reliable, although most of them have sources in any books. When it is about the internet socializing is the same, people still don't approve it completely. It seems weird to them, usually mad. Such internet culture is here not so well developed yet, like it is in the USA, for example.
