Cyber-love
With the widely-spreading use of computers and Internet, it is easy for us
to download many things ranging from MP3 to Chatting tools; still there is something that you cannot download only with computers and the Internet, which is called love.
When I get up in the morning, mostly the first thing I’m going to do is turning on the computer and loading my QQ. It has become a part of my every day’s life. I think there are many people do the same just like me. They chat online, say something quite personal to strangers, write down their soul, and make friends with people they have never seen. More and more people spend a great deal of time a day on computer. Communicating through the wire, two hearts get closer and closer. Finally, fall in love with a person they have never touched or even seen. With the unbelievable development of Internet, this kind of situation becomes common, pervasive and popular recent years.
Why do so many people chose a lover from the Internet? I think there maybe some reasons: firstly, science and technology make our lives more convenient. We don’t need to go out door to call on a friend, just give him a ring. We don’t need to write families a letter, just send them an E-mail. So people spend more time online. As a
consequence, there are more chances to stay at home with computers and find a man who you are fond of online. Secondly, the cyber-love is usually based on people’s imagination instead of the reality. And people always imagine their cyber friends as what they want. I think if they found out their cyber friends are not that handsome or beautiful, they would not fall in love with him or her anymore. Thirdly, I think there are many people who are willing to experience the cyber-love only because there are lonely and have no one else. Or just follow the tide.
Objectively speaking, cyber-love is neither good nor bad. As we all know, every coin has two sides. So does cyber-love. We should not reject it totally. To be honest, it helps some people find their true love. But personal speaking, I don’t agree with it. Internet is not the reality, after all. When you need an arm to rest yourself on, he is not with you. When you need a shoulder to cry on, he is not here for you. When you are enjoying the beautiful of the sea, he can not stand shoulder by shoulder with you. He cannot give you what you really need. Maybe the only thing he can do for you is talking to you online. It’s really sad, isn’t it? So as for me, I would rather pour my love to someone whom I can see, speak to, stay with than a virtual person in the invisible cyber world. Anyway, Wish everyone find their true love.
