12. Find some commons in these two?
Yes, that is my point.
 Because of the rapid development of the fast speed
broadband, and more and more interactive communication
ways on the internet, people are able to meet, communicate
and know each other online more and more like real life.
 For most of us, internet is just like a media, another way of
meet new people whom may have the same interests as
you, whom may have the same career as you, whom may
have the same taste of life as you. Online game, social
networking sites, bbs, online chatting software and blogging
sites are the Medias, creates that provide the opportunities
for people who have lots online life.
 The internet relationship starts in the late 20th century,
when our generation (gene Y) becomes teenager, and starts
familiar with computer, mobile phone and internet these
technologies. It gets popular in the early 21st century,
especially in China.

13. “After 80th”
----the “middle gene Y” in China
 “After 80th” is a common term for people who were
born in between 1980~1989 in China.
 It is also the generation that witnesses the outbreaks
of the internet culture in China.
 The technologies brought a new life to us, new game,
online virtual life, a world without landmark.
 It changes our life, also changes the relationships that
we have with others.

14. In the early period of blooming of the
internet relationships
 People argued about the pros and
cons of the internet relationships.
Especially older generation who
can’t accept internet as we do. It
even is regarded as “bad thing”.
 But still there were some people
look at this thing in the other way.
The famous web novel “the First
Intimate Contact” which was
published in 1998 in mainland China,
it was the very first novel which
talked about the internet
relationships in China, most of the
“After 80th” have read it and loved
it. It also had adapted into a film.

15. In the reality
 Later due to the development of the internet, and
increasing number of the internet user, more and
more people had experienced this new type of
relationship online.
 There are bad consequences, but not all, some
good stories were passed on the internet, and
people start to believe that internet is just
another way of meeting people.
 But still, there are some different points of views
about this phenomenon.

16. The “culprit” that
brings the changes
 There’s no doubt that Technologies are the “culprit”
of these changes.
 The flourishing of the online game, social networking
sites, bbs, online chatting software and blogging sites
shortened the distance between people, they provide
the platform for the communication, also the
development of these technologies create the
interactive communication between people, not liner
communication.

17. The problems are……
 How these technologies change the
realty?
 For what reason this happened?
 And what will be the future of this
phenomenon look like?
 That is something…

18.  Thanks for your attention
