 balthazarus says: A nice anacdote story. Technology ,also, is not a concept to be entertained by and not be changed by. This story clearly reflects a transition period, where one uses a new concept with an old habit. It doesn't work, it never works. We are users of new concepts and as such should be open to changes of how we perceive reality and ourselves. This can make a good ad for the beer though...  This can make a good ad for the beer though...I'm not sure drinking alone is the image a beer ad campaign would be inclined to go for...... Aww, no one should ever drink alone. I've met fellow clippers (3) I didn't know before I met them here and it turned out great! We had so much fun.  Didn't you ever hear of CBGC? *LOL*  it just depend if you are going out and making these friends and then chatting online with them, or relying entirely on internet connections. it takes putting yourself out there to be able to construct a solid social group. You do have a point triscuit, but I've made some friends online that carried over into real life and I would have never met them if not for the internet. How much richer and fuller they have made my life.  700 friends!??!?!? I can't even imagine that....50 seems like a lot to me. I do have a friend that has carried over in real life from Second Life. A lady from Holland, we started the game at the same time and have been friends since. Going through our "boyfriend" and " why when i hit quote did it tab to post comment! ARGHHHH sometimes I hate my laptop. Anyway...we have followed each other all over SL, dancing, partying, building houses, renting parcels, even sharing parcels when we have gotten mad or gotten rid of SL "boyfriends". Yeah, you can have them in SL. Can even get married. She is a good friend. When her real life hubby and her were getting a divorce he pulled a nasty and went on SL telling everyone she had died in a car wreck in real life, I blubbered like a baby for a week. He had locked her out of her accounts by changing her passwords. I was very happy to hear from her when she was able to log back in. I am old enuff to be her mom, s... Great story... good point debbyski: but im not saying internet relationships can't carry over to the "in person" status, i have actually met some cool people over the internet! but i still feel a person looses social skills when they rely on internet connections. a few friends, maybe a date fine, but 700 people who you requested as friends online and expect to all come party with you is a little excessive. i have 250 friends on my myspace and i have either partied, schooled or socially encountered with 90%, the rest are amazing DJ's and artists i wanna follow. I absolutely agree triscuit. |
