Due¹ to the wide use of computers and the development of Internet, more and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more attention to Internet communication than to face-to-face contact.

As Internet communication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Internet with our tools such as computers, mobile² phones and pads³. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our communication, but the Internet communication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth⁴, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through Internet communication.

Therefore, though Internet communication brings convenience⁵ to our life, I still don't think the Internet communication can replace face-to-face contact.
