I think the internet has changed the way my family and I communicate. While I am not able to physically see someone in another state, I can check their facebook status, send and receive emails from them as well as text messages. The internet has touched every part of our everyday lives, it would be hard to imagine not being able to communicate by email with a distant relative.
I do also believe that in some cases this has replaced telephone and face to face converstations, especially with family memebers who you feel obligated to contact but don't really want to. Email and text messaging allow for an impersonal type of contact that shows you are thinking about a person without actually investing that much time into the personal relationship.
