    Great changes have been taken place in the way people communicate with each other. In the
past people write letters to share informations and later they talked with each other in the telephone.
Now more and more people use our own mobile phones to communicating. And instead writing on
the paper, they e-mail each other on the computer. As a result, people find that quicker and easier
to communicate, and at the same time some people feel that they become poorer in writing. They
worry about whether people can be as closely as before.
