2. What the internet changed in our lives

Face to face communication

Spending time with friends, chatting and having a good time. Getting together after school or on the weekends to have some fun surrounded by familiar faces. This is not so common to see now that the Internet is a thing.

In 1980s the only way to talk to your friends aside from face to face was to call them on the phone but you couldn't do that for too long, so meeting up in the cafes or parks was really common then. With the appearance of online chat rooms and other social places you could talk with your friends without having the need to meet up. Nowadays it's really common to see teens(if you can see them at all) socialize online instead of in the park or other places of the outside world. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and other social platforms give good opportunities to meet new friends and chat without leaving home. Though there are still people who prefer to talk with their friends face to face, there is quite a lot of people who do that online more often than not.

Newspapers are still being printed?

Have you seen any newspapers lately? I haven't seen one with my own two eyes for at least five years. And that's not surprising because nowadays you can get all the necessary information on the Internet. 

But before the Internet the only way to know what was going on in the world was either ask other people or get a newspaper. People had to buy them monthly or weekly to get the news. In the recent years the production of newspapers has been gradually declining. With all the social media and news portals if you have access to the Internet you don't need to touch newspapers ever again. You can get all the news you want any day just by looking it up online. There's no need to wait for weeks to get the new edition of the newspaper if you have a smartphone or a computer(and that is a necessity nowadays). I think there's really no need for newspapers today.
