As technology is blooming fast in nowadays, the Internet soon becomes a quite important means for people to communicate with each other. It is more convenient and economical than the old means, such as writing letters and telegraphing. But when love becomes the theme of a conversation, I think it may not be suitable to use network to communicate.
Every time I think of love, it makes me feel tender, warm, full of energy and just like the feeling of eating sugar--so sweet. But the love delivered by network sounds cold, hard and lack of emotion. Especially after I have learned C-programme, I have learned that the words we type on th computer would be changed into C-language codes first, then other forms of information and finally, back to words again. I really do not like this way to express love or receive love. How can the lively and beautiful emotion of human beings be changed into the curt computer language? Computer language is disabled to express one's tears, smile, expressions in eyes and many things, which are more than words.
In my opinion, instead of using the Internet, the best "postman" to deliver love is face-to-face communication. Just imagine how beautiful and romantic it is to look deep into each other's eyes and feel the whole atmosphere being full of the other's breath when saying love words.
I like your idea that “just like the feeling of eating sugar--so sweet.” Also I won't use the Internet for love, either.I agree with you and I prefer face-to-face communication than communication on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bowen. I like this sentence, too. But after Joshua said that it is better to use "that" after "so", I just feel a little strange to read this sentence again. I hope it is fine.
Delete.....I think it is fine~~

Deletenks for remembering, Summer. Yes, I don't use "so" to mean "very," so when I read "so sweet," I expect to see "that..." or something afterwards (like I used "so" in this sentence). ^_^
DeleteIf this were my sentence, I would write something like this: "Thinking of love makes me feel tender, warm, full of energy and sweet; like eating candy." That's Jenlgish, though, and you're welcome to your Summenglish! ^_^

ReplyDeleteInternet is convenient for people to deliver messages, but I agree with you that it's not a suitable tool when it comes to love, which is emotional and can warm people's hearts, and Internet can only send cold strings of words. Besides, I like your description of how the Internet works.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting; I never thought that our words will become the C-language before. I also think computer is not suitable for romance. Maybe this is the reason that cyberdating often turn into a real dating.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I like computer and I think it is a good tool to express my feelings, I like your blog and I think what you wrote was right. Many people do not like use this way to say love. Maybe this electrical way is not very romantic, but I believe it is magical and fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with you more.As a visual world, the Internet cannot represent all aspects of a person. That is to say, who someone show the love to is not konwn to himself or herself.
ReplyDeleteNice post! So the best "postman" to deliver a message of love is not a "postman" after all, but yourself. It seems that your classmates agree. I wonder, what are your thoughts about having a romantic conversation over the phone? It's much more natural and personal than typing, but your voice is still scrambled into electricity and de-coded at the other end... And how about video chat? XD
