Connecting learners in a global world: why is this important for you?

Focus Question: does connecting with students around the world using computers mean an end to social dialogue

Introduction:

In the 21st century we have created something called cyberspace. As we know in the past years our parents never had the use of modern technology. If we use technology to find jobs we will never have social meetings instead we will communicate online without meeting in person. I chose to explore this focus question out of the other questions to seek out why we should communicate online when we can just meet with each other to discuss about job opportunities, pollution, organizations etc.
Relating to my introduction another reason why we shouldn’t just interview each other on the internet is because we will never be able to help poor people around the world. If we can’t meet each other in person how will we ever learn of new ideas from people around the globe? understand that time has altered we have changed through our life, each generation had something new to present but why now in the 21st century we have to communicate online? I believe that if we speak with each other using cyberspace then we will never have the time or chance to meet each other.
Social dialogue takes into account each country’s cultural, historical, economic and political context. If we don’t take the initiative we may never have any job opportunities. We have the upper hand because we are in the technology age but we may never unite as a planet if we are bonded to cyberspace forever.

Findings:
I have been doing some research based on my focus question and I have found a website that gave me all the info I needed which was called http://www.ilo.org/public/english/dialogue/ifpdial/sd/index.htm
In this site not only did I find the info on my focus question but also on the conditions of social dialogue and why its important.

It is important for us to realize that we all stay together in one world. In this century we may have the technology to help us, but the true help comes from people around the world. To ensure the safety of the planet and its inhabitants we shall learn from each other and help unite as one by holding hands and surviving through hard times.
