People can communicate with others by their media devices even if they are not close enough to hear or see, and can acquire information from websites anywhere anymoment. The media devices, such as smartphones, are second oneself; guides and supplements first (real) oneself by intellectually and socially. Now I can contact with my parents easily by using my IPhone, and it is cheaper too.
