2、is connected to internet have the ability to send and receive files in the form of emails or another file extensions over the internet.And thus the people all over the world are connected always.If we place internet in the historical context and then critically examines the effect of internet use on
3、 the social relationships then we could see that the effects of internet use are largely depended on particular goals such as self-expression or competition.In 1998,Kraut and his colleagues cited a correlation between the internet use and declines in social relationships.After years the same group o
4、f people did a study on the original sample group and founded out that the negative effects of using internet had dissipated and also it suggested that the internet had a very positive effect on social and psychological wellbeing of the modern people.Here my aim or objective is to critically analyse

7、As a conclusion of my critical analysis I came to know that internet has both positive and negative effects on the social relationships in the modern world.Some of the positive effects are like online chatting,which will create new friendships and relationships which also helps in behind in touch wi
8、th old friends.The same chatting could be the demerit when it creates wasteful relationships between people while chatting in the net for long hours.The positive effects of the internet on the social relationships may be crucial but the demerits of using internet might be destructiveMETHOD OF EVALUA
9、TIONIn the method of evaluation of the research author had interviewed thirty three participants from OldKids organisation whom falls under old age group and different educational backgrounds.Here the author tries to point out two culture specific groups.First-informed by anthropologists on the obse
10、rvation that the ageing experience difference over cultures and these participants were not selected by age but by self identification.It contained Chinese citizens.Second-retired Chinese participants.In the research the author speaks about the social relationships in the internet age and the social
11、 relationships in the later life.She says that the use of internet in this age reduces social relationship and increases the social isolation.The studies reveal that this concept was accepted before years but now the online relationships are more reliable,realistic,low cost and easy reachable than i
12、n older days.She describes that the digital world or the internet age is completely independent on on the offline or the physical world.This is a true fact and the two worlds are entirely different from each other with their own advantages and disadvantages.The virtual world helps each person to ove

14、ng each other face to face.The use of online relations also creates stage frightness in children.The virtual world creates the same situations prevailing in the physical world.This hypothesis is right from my point of view as well.Now we could do any thing in the virtual world that is happening in t
15、he physical world expect from the point of physical contacts.More recently the computer people had created even virtual bingos were a user could make a profile with a a character and that character could interact with the other characters whom are created by other users.From the evidences and the re
