But, they were not affected so much from these technologies as the Internet. It means Internet affected communication of people more than from the television and the telephone. Most researchers and social scientists debate the effects of the Internet. Some of them think these effects are positive some of them think negative. (Kraut, Lundmark, Patterson, Kiesler, Mukopadhyay, and Scherlis 1998) After personal computers are begun to use in home environment their price are decreased, their capacity are increased. So Internet provides more communication chance. Although people live different areas and they have most physical obstacles, Internet breaks up all of these negative factors.

If we think people use Internet for the communication, the most popular applications are e-mails, social network web sites and messengers. In that way, people do not pay for communication so much and destroy geographical distance. Internet provides socialization more than the television, so it is more like the telephone. Nowadays, Internet is the most
