It is often said that the advanced Information Technology (IT) has brought drastic improvements in the ways of communication and information collection. However, while IT has made a convenient life to us, it would introduce more adverse impacts in social alienation and juvenile delinquency.
First, it is undeniable that the application of email and World Wide Web constitute an effective platform for education, business and commerce. People are no longer limited to time and location for such activities. Email, for instance, connecting people, especially abroad, more convenient and easier. Furthermore, the usage of World Wide Web has placed the entire world at people fingertips that abundance of information could be browsed anytime and anywhere.
Nevertheless, the development in IT has deteriorated the intrinsic value of human connection. Such computer-based communication platform leads to serious social alienation. According to the social studies report, more than 70% of message delivery relies on body language, tones and facial expression, while only less than 7% of content was delivered via words. The overwhelming application of email would definitely undermine the social connection with degraded verbal skills and human interactions.
Further and even more importantly, World Wide Web provide plethora of information and knowledge without adequate control and governance. People, especially adolescents, will be misled by those improper materials easily. One particularly salient example is that many juveniles were led astray, and participating in drug smuggling and prostitution due to the inappropriate content from the Internet. Thus, the ample and uncontrolled information would lead to many negative effects in social security and teenage education.
In conclusion, it is irrefutable that IT has constructed an unprecedented platform for communication and information exchange, while the more negative impacts are likely to be introduced, such as juvenile delinquency and social alienation. This widespread phenomenon would be worsening unless proper control and stringent legislation imposed.
