Nowadays people, especially teenagers spend lots of time online. They do not only entertain themselves but most of all they chat with their friends. Just like any other form of communication it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Even though it is believed that people are not as close with their friends as their parents used to with theirs, the truth is different. Online chats gave people opportunity to talk with each other even when they are miles away from each other. It helps in creating close relationships and being up to date with our friends life. That is big advantage, because nowadays people do not have much free time due to many responsibilities. What is even more comfortable is the opportunity to end a conversation at any time, when something urgent comes up. Young people have to be flexible and always ready to work in order to develop a career.
That could be at the same time advantage and disadvantage, hastily abandoned conversations can have negative impact on friendships. The other friend might think that he or she is not as important to his friend as he thought he was. Furthermore brief conversations do not help creating a deep bond, and people end up with many friends, but none of them is really close to them. Even though they are instantly busy talking with friends online, there is a deeply hidden feeling of loneliness.
Online chats have their own advantages and are really useful in modern world, but it can not replace face to face meetings. Deep bond between people can not be created online and everyone should aware of that.
