Ignoring the metaphysics in the post name , Hi..... although it has been less than 5 hours since the inauguration i told you it would come soon. So what is this post about ? , It's about the internet.
Every once in a while i ask myself why i use methods of communications such as BLOGS , Instant Messengers , Forums or any other way of communication that don't involve direct contact with another person. Phones are impersonal but comparing it to the internet is an exaggeration . On the internet you can do whatever you want , you can be whoever you want to be and you have no responsibility for your actions , most of the time.
Insulted someone on the MSN? , tell him you had the wrong window open ; Don't want to talk with someone? just block him ; Want to confess your darkest and deepest secrets without being scared ? IM it. So with all the liars and problems the internet has , why do we find it to be such a awesome way of communicating? . I don't get get it.
So what's the key to the internet as a form of communication? , Blind trust. As a active forum user and ex-online gamer (well i do play from time to time but not as much as i did in school) , i admit that over the years i have met countless persons , some of them great , some of them annoying , some of them potential perverts. Still i can't simply ignore everyone that i meet just because of some mindless paranoia. That's why blind trust is a must if you like this way of communicating. With all the inconveniences the internet brings to our daily life i can't imagine what our lives would be like without it... maybe i would be smarter but that's another point.
So with my fingers tired , i say goodbye and wish you all luck.
