网络交往的益处 (podcast)

Transcript:

您好！近年来， 网络交往已经成为了人们热门的话题之一。许多人都不了解的说到底网络交往有什么益处。好，就让我把网络交往的益处告诉大家吧！

为何近期来人们宁可选择网络交往多于现实交往呢？原来，网络交往也带给人们不少益处

1.  现今的社会，人们都不能脱离网络。因此，网络交往形成了一种优点。而最大的优点是，人们可以在网页中寻找自己想要的类型。例如，兴趣，年龄，种族，地点等等。就类似网络购物一样。在网页中，觉得他很好看，就开始联络对方，而且不会感到尴尬。

2.  网络交往也给那些人不常出门，或者对陌生人比较慢熟的人带来不少益处。他们可以通过网络进行沟通，并且熟悉了对方以后才决定而邀请对方出来见个面。这样一来，他们不会导致整个场面变得尴尬而且还会让人家觉得舒服。

3.  人们花多数的时间在网络，而且现在多数人都使用智能手机。因此，就算他们再忙碌而没有时间出来见面，也可以通过网络来联络感情。除此之外，他们可以把自己的生活作息发布在一些社交网页中，另一半也可以通过社交网页知道对方在做些什么。 这样，给网络情侣带来不少的便利。

4.  网络交往与现实交往的不同就是现实交往要常常出来见面，而网络交往之需通过网页交往，不须特地找时间出来与自己的伴偶见面谈情。因此，网络交往的感情可以比现实交往的感情更加持久。

以上是网络交往的益处。如果您有不同的意见，欢迎来到我们的部落各留言。

谢谢!

First of all thank you all for your kind votes and support to our blog. Most of you (67%) agreed that Facebook.com starts relationship. Facebook.com has many applications such as the live chat and 'People you may know' column that ease the users to communicate, find, and making new friends.

Online games had 20% of the votes which it is a surprise, because many people playing games spend more time doing something in common with each other. Of course there is a certain percentage that the other person might not be who he/she is. There is always a self cautious attitude when it comes to games where people playing a character of the opposite sex, for example in the game of World of Warcraft where a guy plays a female character. In the game, yeap, looks can be deceiving.
