The Internet as technology does improve human social interactions and relationships

The Internet has opened up an entirely whole new world for people's relationships, through a vast new dimension of contact that was only in its infancy in the 1990's, and now has exploded globally in a firestorm of incredible new knowledge. Exponentially, it has grown many times. This dimension has never been fully explored, due to its uncharted vastness, and therefore grand potential for us all. This dimension is beautiful in its vastness and intricate complexity, populated by countless, beautiful new worlds waiting to be discovered. Through the Internet, people have a closeness in existing, beginning and potential relationships far more so than they ever had before, thanks to this dimensional reality.

With Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking sites, people are more socially interconnected in an endless, infinite series of webs that saturate the planet. This kind interaction has brought us closer, in good times and bad times, as evidenced by the 2009 failed Iranian uprising, where the Internet and the social networking sites played a huge role in reporting the insurrection. We are in an unprecedented period of human history---where technology and human interactions are increasingly becoming more intertwined.

Utilizing social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, information sharing through photos, files and blogs helps to bring people far more closer than ever before. Just Twitter, alone, helps people put real-time thoughts, ideas and muses out there, allowing their clique and many others to know what's happening with them. Cyberspace has easily and soundly replaced such things as old-fashioned snail mail almost to the point of extinction, by giving people access to vast amounts of info in a nanosecond. People can go into a chatroom and talk to dozens of people. The odds are good they may not even know, or maybe little, greatly improving relationships and other social interactions in a way never seen before.

The old fashioned landline has been superceded by a highly-advanced mobile Internet, data organizer and info sharing, all-in-one cellphone, with huge gigabytes of memory, giving people talking on the road (or anywhere else) far more access and information-downloading capabilities to each other. Through the vastly improved better way of sharing photos, video files and real time info with everybody from one to millions, strangers can become friends and friends and partners get vastly closer with easily-accessed and processed info. With video and audio files, photos and other cyberspace info easily being distributed back and forth, relationships of all kinds naturally strengthen. Using this kind and gentle info sharing, comes a link to basically all humanity that has never been seen before. For the first time in our history, we stand on the threshold of vastly improved human interactions and dynamics, than anything before through technology, ie the Internet.

Through the info sharing and retrieval out there, people always seem to be together, without necesarily smothering them or over/under compensating with each other. Space can be given, with info at hand, easily delivered and stored for our convenience. We have the information at their disposal whenever we want it in high-quality format. Also, with much easier access and presentation, they get this info in an excellent and plentiful format, that is always there for them in a seemingly, inexhaustible supply. Additionally, data that can be very conducive to any type of relationship is spoken in nanosecond volumes---through the kind delivery of many, many bytes of information---in increasingly smaller devices and through larger memory capacity.

With a multitude of online groups, chatrooms and the such, even dating has moved deep into the twenty-first century...and beyond. Instead of always going to the bar, the social and the health club to meet people like in the last century, we have the Internet to help facilitate those personal connections. Through those infinite interconections of the web, people can meet in cyberspace, then potentially meeting in person later.

Cyberspace has not eliminated the bar, social and health clubs for social interactions and romantic relationships, but has moved all relationships and other human interactions into a far more advanced and sophisticated platform, with the templates and other cyberspace means for solid information exchange. Friends, family and strangers can even be far closer than ever before, from ten feet to ten thousand miles away!  There are no limits anymore, through the vast dimension...

As computers and the Internet continues to improve, peoples relationships will only improve more so than ever before. Technology has definitely moved relationships and other social interaction into the 21st century...and beyond. As the years and decades pass, the improvement in relationships will only exponentially grow, through new and more rapid advances in technology. But still the old-fashioned touch of a couple walking hand-in-hand will never, ever be totally replaced by technology. For technology cannot replace a real and solid relationship, only enhancing it in so many ways that can't even be totally comprehended. But the exploration, like love itself, opens up doors to fresh, pleasant, amazing, pleasureable and serene realities.

Relationships will always need a personal and loving touch that technology could never replace. We are human beings, not machine, after all.. Love is a biochemical event, also helped into being by circumstance and chance. But the computer, itself, can help lead the way into a far better and more dynamic way of improved social interaction and relationships. The sky isn't even the limit anymore for the impact of these technological innovations on all human interactions, as we are still in the infancy of it all.

Social interactions and relationships have changed forever, thanks to these incredible new tools. Although there will always be pitfalls, the benefits will always outweigh the pitfalls and become lesser and lesser in time.  Pitfalls will always exist in every aspect of life.  But what would life be without challenges to overcome.  Fortunately, we have the technological conveyances to help shepherd us through the process.  More importantly, we have our common sense and intuitive thinking to also help us in interpersonal dynamics.
