The widespread distribution of computers and the internet has brought parallel to the creation of a new way to communicate, based on instant messaging and social networks like Facebook and Twitter. It should not be taken for granted at all revolution generated by this computerized language between people. The relevant consequences of this widespread use of PC are visible every day with ease, just look around. Contrary to the surface one might assume, the computer-addiction is a disease that involves not only the young.

The children of this new millennium are certainly born with mouse in hand, but are clearly not the only ones who benefit. What the chat and IM programs is a significant social phenomenon. Before you even understand how it works, if they can find the dynamics.

The face to face communication is less and less used and it appears more convenient posts sms (Short Message Service, Short Messaging Service acronym translated literally) Email (Electronic Mail, Electronic Mail) ChatRoom (Literally translated as “The Room of gossip”) and Social network (Such as Facebook and Twitter).

The traditional grammar, as a basis for each of the languages in the world, it is often set aside and you prefer a more abbreviated jargon and intuitive. Now taken for granted some, the use of these abbreviations sometimes makes it difficult to dialogue with those most accustomed to the traditional linguistics. It makes you feel as a kind of generation gap, but difficult to pass an invisible wall.

The phenomenon not only in terms of language, is more social in general because the Internet is often used as a medium to meet new people. To meet new people is no longer strictly necessary to go out and be seen, but it is also sufficient to obtain a separate account (filled with truth, but not) that allows you to exchange some talk in front of a monitor. This mountain is a favorite subject, because it is a convenient way to get company without exposing them directly. It is not easy for anyone to show yourself and be calm, for this reason the communication via instant messaging can be an important opportunity for the more timid and more.

Chat and instant messaging programs have much in common. The structure is the same, both allow you to send real-time messages between users from anywhere in the world. But what generally characterizes the chatroom is a greater influx of people who do not know each other and have no common bond. In contrast, instant messaging programs (such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), with the acceptance of the contacts, largely implicitly providing a bond of understanding and “choice” of the people you enter into communication. It should however be noted that this distinction is not always valid, because quite often we accept the contact without anyone really knowing who they are.

The statement carried by the PC runs the same risks that face to face, if not performed with due attention. In the internet as in real life you may encounter malicious individuals and this is the worst risk in which you may incur. For this reason we must always be wary of those requesting early meetings with questions or insist too personal. Unfortunately, the bad guys are not always easy to recognize, but be subtle enough to pretend to know people other than those which are actually to the point of being able to really convince people in good faith to meet them. The only good advice is to try to know the other person as much as possible, and avoid full trust. The key issue is to recognize vulnerable and not infallible in attribute judgments about who you think you know, a question more for those who are in front of him may be the first step towards a real understanding.
