The social impacts of I.C.T. affect our normal day to day life. Many things have changed since new technology has been developed. The time when you communicated using letters is way in the past and now without phones , the internet and emailing the modern day society would quite frankly not be able to survive.
How does I.C.T affect how we socialise?
ICT affects how we socialise by, allowing us to communicate simply to each other. A decade ago people didn’t have the technology to talk to each other like we do now e.g. Facebook, Twitter etc. Nowadays, people find out information via the internet but before, news was spread by word of mouth.
Being able to communicate via the internet doesn’t consist of bad points such as quick and simple and keeping in touch with people like your family and friends which also builds relationships that you need through life . 
Even though using the internet is much quicker and simpler means more time on phones especially with the new smart phones e.g. iPhone 4,Blackberry Curve etc decreasing face to face interaction. Sometimes socialising over the internet can be dangerous due to fake identities. Starting to socialise on the internet at a young age means decreased knowledge on face to face socialising and can affect your behaviour with a big impact.
How do we use I.C.T. for entertainment?
Nowadays, ICT entertainment is used a lot at a young age e.g. cbeebies has its own interactive website to play games. Most people also use ICT for iTunes for their mp3 player, iPod or maybe even their phone. A lot of people use twitter, facebook and websites like that to chat to others over a large network, ICT devices now have a way of linking your laptop or computer to the television so you can watch whatever you want on a bigger screen .
