From the cartoon given above, we can oberve that there are two people in front of a computer. With his wife standing behind, the man is writing an E-mail to their son which states, "Dear Andy - How are you? Your mother and I are fine. We both miss you and hope you are doing well. We look forward to seeing you again the next time your computer crashes and you come downstairs for something to eat. Love, Mom and Dad."

We learn from the cartoon that the Internet has exerted a great impact on the way of people's communication. People used to communicate face to face, make calls or write letters. While in modern society, people are more prone to to communicate via, as the cartoon depicts, Internet tools like E-mails, QQ or microblogs. People hold that these ways of communication are more convenient and are able to save them an enormous amount of time. Here comes a question, "whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact?" Definitely not. When enjoying the convenience of of electronic communication, people have began to realize that it tends to weaken the affection between people, reduce working efficiency or even bring about some misunderstandings or frictions. Moreover, communicating through electronic tools will be likely to make people solitary or even suffer from certain mental disorders.

What the cartoon depicted can be tragic: the family could have communicated face to face happily without E-mail. But now, a family living together seems to be a thousand-mile apart. Perhaps, we should take a moment to think, "Does anyone there want to fall victim of convenience of the Internet and electronic communication tools ?" (275 words)
