The Internet is a Strange Thing

[Tara]

You know, you cannot talk about what goes on online as easily as you can talk about what goes on in real life. I mean, the internet... I compare it to the Other Side (somewhat). to those who know about it, you cannot fully describe what it's like to be online when you're not on...can you?

I mean, even with friends when I might describe my homepage, it can be interesting, it's like I'm talking about a different world or something. It's like it's its own...living organism or something...okay, okay, I'm getting weird.

Well anyways, that's what it's like for me. Anybody else? What are your thoughts on this cyberspace thing?

It's a sub-culture, to be sure. Like anything else, if you're not one of "them", it's hard to relate to "them"!

A Subculture? Hmm... I'm not sure.

I do find being online quite strange.. but I can't quite explain in what way it is strange! I'll have to ponder!

The only thing I don't understand is why those with no net access don't want it/don't get it and why those with access don't do more with it.

I LOVE the net, love surfing, meeting new people, chatting in groups and message boards and making webpages. I just don't see why everyone else doesn't feel the same way.
