As far as I can remember, besides interaction with other
students in online classes, I have never made friendships that exist exclusively
in cyberspace. I think that the reason I
have not formed any such relationship is because I don't visit any kinds of
online forum or such that allow this type of connection to accrue. It is obvious
that I have no interests in such; otherwise I would have try it. But I think
that the main reason is that after spending so many ours on the computer for
research and school work, I like to spend the rest of my time communicating
with others face to face.
Nevertheless, If we can consider the communication in an
online class as "friendship", than I made many friendships that exist
only exclusively in cyberspace. This kind of friendship is different in a way
that it is not so personally as other friendships.
i agree wtith you on that one! i have met a few people who i have stuff in common with through online classes but other then that i dont really use cyber space to make friendships, only to keep in touch with them. i also feel that i am on the computer alot for either school or work and then to go on it again to make friends...thats just a headache lol.
ReplyDeleteI think that is great that you chose to spend your communication more effectively and face to face. Nowadays, that is so rare. I believe cyberspace is a great way to keep in touch with people, and its an easy way to do so. However, our society has taken it to a whole nother level and we have become consumed by it. I think face to face is more healthy way.
