So, after Monday's 412 class I have been continuously thinking about whether something on the Internet has the same degree of effectiveness as something that happens in 'real' life, or face to face does.
It is interesting to see the ways that people present themselves online. People have the freedom to be any character and identity that they choose and they can behave in ways that they would not in real life.
I have a really interesting like to an article. The article tells the story of a couple who met on the Internet, were then married, on the Internet and in real life, and were then divorced after finding a partner cheating on them electronically. Wow, check it out and make sure to look at the accompanying link for further info on the subject.

Peace,

ps. I am going to create a second life account myself and keep everyone posted on the things that happen.
