...Nowadays, People love using telephones and email to communicate with others. It cause that people are less personal now. Why the use of telephones and email makes people less personal? Communicating become easily, the expression of body language has forgotten and the working habit are the reasons. The ease of communication that the telephones and email provide is the one reason. If one people miss someone, due to the improvement of technology, he can just call up to him instead of meeting with him. However, they do not realize that communicating through email and telephones will weaken the relationship between them. Moreover, if communicating with others without using face-to-face communication, people cannot feel the emotion of others by seeing their body language. The sound in telephones and sentences in email cannot express the emotion clearly. The body language and tone can express emotion more obviously so that it will make the distance of people become farther and farther away. Furthermore, when people use telephones and email to converse with others, they are unconscious to become stereotyped even thought face to parents.

Tracing the hidden reasons, this is probably because some people failed their dreams and think accomplishing the goal is impossible for everybody. With the negative impacts of this idea, the human beings cannot develop forward anymore. Whatever, I think the phenomenon that people are never well-pleased with what they have and always pursue something better has to be admitted. By this I mean that people are never satisfied in their daily life. They may have something, but when they see newer things that give them the same function, they will buy again. Also, if they have some kind of thing, and they realize that there are better things in this aspect, they will buy the better ones and throw their older one away.

They are in the period of adolescence and without the experienced advice, they may not have the skills to determine what is beneficial for them to study. //Perhaps, most of us have changed our aspirations for many times during the past decade. what he has devoted in music may hinder his development in other areas.
