this whole blog thing

Is really strange, don't you think? I mean, here we are, all over the world, sharing our personal diaries with anyone who's interested. It's a whole new social order. On the net there's no need for dishonesty, for game playing. We can just be completely ourselves, and it's safe.

Not like that in the 'real' world! Out there you have to worry about all the possible faux pas, subliminal signals, body language, eye contact and what not to say. I've often had people look at me real funny and then change the subject so as not to have to comment on what i've just said. People can only handle a certain amount of honesty at a time. Well, most people anyway.

But on the net, if you don't like what someone is saying, you just don't visit their blog again! Simple. And if you do like what they are saying, you have the chance to make a friend.

One day we will be able to create virtual personalities that will interact with eachother through the web, like an extension of ourselves which we can create according to our whims.

As long as we remember that the real world is the place were all the action happens. Then the net can be like a dream, a dream that we can control and play with any way we like.
