Allen: It's made such a big difference to me. I mean, communication is miles easier than 
it was before. Do you remember the days when we had to go through all that hassle of 
writing letters? 
Barbara: Sure, I'd agree with that. But I'd still say that faceto-face communication is 
better. Sending an email is nowhere near as personal and meaningful as a conversation. 
Allen: Well, it depends, doesn't it? 
Barbara: On what? 
Allen: OK, an email is nothing like as good as seeing someone you love, or your friends 
or something, but I can tell you this much: rather than going to see my clients every day, 
or nattering on the phone, I'm much better off sending them an email. It saves time. 
Barbara:Yeah, I see what you're getting at, but I just think, the more we use email, the 
more we need it. It's like an addiction, with people checking their emails every five

regulated, is it? Anyone can publish anything on the Internet and it may or may not be 
true. 
Allen: Much the best thing about the Internet is that it lets you do things more cheaply 
than before, like buying holidays, buying stuff on e-Bay. 
Barbara: I've never used eBay. 
Allen: Or Amazon. You can get loads of cheap books. 
Barbara:Yeah, but I'd sooner go to a second-hand bookshop. I'm not into the idea of 
giving my bank details over the Internet. No way. 
Allen: There're lots of security measures these days, you know. For instance,
