Abstract

One of internet aims is to connect people worldwide, regardless of their geographical position. Communication possibilities of the internet are endless and can be examined from various aspects. This paper deals with the role of internet communication (chat and email) in interpersonal relationships. We analyze different web sites in order to learn more about this type of communication and its role in love affairs/relationships.

Število obiskovalcev interneta, konkretno klepetalnic, iz dneva v dan narašča. Mnogi se zatekajo vanje z željo, da bi spoznali fanta ali dekle, vendar pa je število zakonskih zvez, v katerih sta se partnerja spoznala prek interneta, v primerjavi s številom obiskovalcev zelo majhno. Raziskovanja internetne komunikacije sem se lotila, da bi ugotovila, zakaj prihaja do takšnega nesorazmerja. V prispevku govorim o internetu, konkretno o klepetalnicah in elektronski pošti kot online posrednikoma pri spoznavanju partnerjev za ljubezensko zvezo, in pokažem, kakšna je perspektiva 'virtualnih' poznanstev in ljubezni.
