Thanks to the outburst of the internet, people can meet new people and friends more easily. Just by a click of the mouse.
And even better, they can search for a specific penpal with specific criterias like gender, age, hobbies, location and so on.

You are in desperate need of a friend who shares your interest in Food contest or Japan?
Fine, just browse the net and in not longer than 5 minutes (depends of your degree of pickiness) you will find your ideal match.

Electronic mailing and instant messaging (+ webcam) are making it so much comfty for immediate interactivity.
Technology makes it better for fast and easy communication and interaction but on the other hand, maybe it’ll drive us closer to isolation, confining us in our room, stuck to a computer screen?

Anyway, everyone will handle it differently.
Some of us will still prefer snail mail to the email, or face to face communication vs webcam, or phone vs MSN…

There are many free penpal websites, just google it and you’ll see the web is not short of it.
Here are some examples:

Good luck in finding your perfect penfriend!
