There is no doubt that Internet has changed our life greatly. It makes the world smaller. People can get to know the world in a short time and make friends from all over the world. While on the other hand, the much attention on the Internet isolates the distance and reduces face to face communication.

毫无疑问，互联网已经极大地改变了我们的生活。它把这个世界变得越来越小。人们可以在短时间内就了解整个世界，和来自世界各地的人们交朋友。而另一方面，对互联网的过度关注也疏远了人们之间的距离，减少了面对面的交流。

Many years ago, before the popularity of computer, people got to know the world by listening to the radio or reading newspaper. But nowadays, people can just read the instant news on the Internet and get the first-hand information immediately. The fast way to master information makes them feel keeping in touch with the world. The world seems so near to them.

许多年前，在电脑普及之前，人们通过听收音机或看报纸来了解世界。但是现在，人们可以在互联网上阅读即时新闻，还可以获得手信息。快速掌握信息的方式让他们觉得自己与整个世界保持着联系。似乎与世界靠得很近。
