Internet equals short distance?

Nowadays, internet have very influence in our routine and in the communication, for sure. With the internet we can speak with people of all the world, we can read the most recent news and we can share our opinnion in many different ways. So, does internet equals short distance? I don't think so. I think it helps us a lot with all the different ways of communication that we have at the internet, besides, internet it's just something a little bit unpersonal, too cold. So, I guess it dependes on the situation. But it's always better to talk to people and visit the places personally, being face to face.
