Is text messaging making our kids illiterate?

SELECTIVITAT WRITING 3: French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said that the best things people have made [the airplane, the telephone...] are all things that bring people together. Discuss this statement and say what are to your mind, the best things people have made. Would you say that internet makes our social life richer or poorer?

Human beings have crated many incredible things during the last two millenniums. Year by year, inventions are, in general, more complex and more advanced, but this fact does not always mean that they will keep people together.

It is true that new technologies like internet have allowed people to, for example, communicate like they had not done before, very fast, throughout the world, with distant relatives or with new people that, otherwise, they would not have met. But, as it happens with many relationships, they can become a problem because sometimes to have an argument is unavoidable.

Vehicles are another example. They are very useful to move from one point to another one, but there are many accidents every year, with a high number of deceases.

In my opinion, things made by people are not perfect and they can bring people closer but they can also separate them for ever. Even so, they always give us a richer social life.
