I HAVE a new companion in life, not a boyfriend, not a dog but a laptop.
It never leaves my side. I wonder if my need to be in constant communication with friends and other acquaintances, find out new information, news, gossip, voice my opinions on my blog, Twitter and Facebook pages, which is apparently being social, is me being sociable at all?
As a student I am at a computer by day and sitting with my laptop, like all my other house mates, in my living room by night.
Is the internet the new art of communication?
Is it not harder to voice your opinion now, as someone is always watching?
Do we have to learn how to read and write before we truly start talking?
