Please write a composition of about 450 words with the title "Modern information has shortened the distance between me and my distant friends", and the title is self-made.

With the development of science and technology, the communication between people becomes more convenient and fast. We often vividly say that modern information has shortened the distance between me and my distant friends. In fact, the distance between me and my friends has not shortened. The so-called shortening means that it is more convenient and faster to contact others. The traditional way of information transmission is generally mail. In ancient times, there were two types of letters: oral letters and letters. There is a poem written like this: don't use paper and pencil immediately when you meet, and bring your news to report peace. From the poem, we can imagine that the author meets a friend in a foreign country and wants to bring a letter home through someone. But I didn't prepare a pen and paper, so I had to ask my friend to send a message to my family saying that I was doing well. Du Fu also said: After three months of war, a letter from home is worth a ton of gold. Although the ancient postal industry has begun to take shape, it is still very humble compared with the vast China. In ancient China, there was a post station every few miles. The messenger galloped away on a fast horse. When he arrived at a post office, he rested and changed horses until the letter was delivered to his destination. This way of letter delivery consumes a lot of material and human resources, and the price is very high, only a few rich people can afford it. It's different now. The popularization of network and telecommunication technology makes the communication between people more convenient. Make a phone call and send a text message, and you can send the information to the other party in a short time at a very low price, just as convenient as the other party is close at hand. With the advent of 3G era, every mobile phone can become an output terminal, thus realizing the function of transmitting images while making phone calls, and the videophone can also be carried around. We feel that with the rapid development of science and technology, we should study hard and do our part for the cause of building the motherland.
