L'Esprit d'Escalier

This is my journal. Sometimes I talk about myself. Sometimes I talk about other people. Sometimes I post stuff I've written, or links to things I'm interested in. Sometimes I can be a full-on geektastic fangirl. Read at your own risk.

AGE VERIFICATION: I am legally an adult and old enough to do just about anything, anywhere. I don't like having personal information like my birthyear publicly viewable, but I will provide it privately if needed. My interests have been removed because I don't like that kind of information being sent to advertisers every time I view an LJ page.

I think that people who don't understand online relationships are still looking at the computer as an opaque object - your vision stops at the screen, and you are using the computer to do things. You (and me) are viewing it more as a window, as a means of communication. If I send you an IM it doesn't stop at my screen - it stops at your eyes, from my perspective.

Pretend someone has never been around telephones much. They aren't even thinking, "Why does she call her sister so much?" - they are thinking, "Why does she speak into that piece of plastic so much? Isn't it better to speak to a real person than to speak into plastic?" They don't understand that you are experiencing conversation with your sister, not a piece of plastic. I think it is similar with the internet. - revdj
