My main form of communicative technology is definitely the internet. I think msn is an excellent way to keep in touch with previous friends or get to know unfamiliar people better. It is a non confrontational method to get to get accustom to some one new. Personally the only friends I know exclusively from the internet are not complete strangers, but friends of a friend I have been recommended by my friend, to talk to online.

By doing this it makes it easier to click with them faster when meeting with them in real life. As well as this it is a less direct way to keep in touch with friends you do not see often but wish to remain in contact with. Most of my friends I talk to online though are people I see on a fairly regular basis.

I have been using these technologies for around 3 years. I first started using a mobile phone when I was given one for Christmas at the age of 14. Shortly after I made an msn account and some time last year when myspace became all the craze I set up an account for myself. It’s actually pretty mind blowing how fast myspace has become so popular around the world.

The entire and only reason I started to use these technologies was purely to keep in touch with friends of mine (and for entertainment I suppose). I feel by using them they definitely in some way strengthened or ignited some of the friendships I have today.
