Have Computers ruined Socialising?

[Scranton]

I'm now in the process of spending every spare minute on either a website or gaming-site!.
People are thinking I'm dead, because it's that long since anyone has seen me! So my question is: Do you think that a computer has changed the social aspects of your way of life? Or can you get by without visiting messageboards or other sites????

Rehab is for quitters, right aussie?

Gosh I hope so.... The first time I saw that in my daughters letters it scared me...(not a blonde I promise) Then it dawned on me that's a good thing.

I enjoy meeting different people, I just wish at times that the world could get along like people do on the internet. As far as having a life "want some of mine?" this is a time that I look forward too, I can just be myself and not put on different faces to suit the situations of the day... next

No. Some of them I talk to on here. The other ones, I talk to when I sign off. And the ones who really want to reach call my cell phone. I think it adds to my social life. Because I met all of you guys from all over, and I think that's pretty cool.

i agree with almost everything said so far. *forgive me im on xanex* but ive met several several people from the internet that i socialize with reguarly. and the more i get to know you guys, the more id like to consider you friends, diva, aussie, jenn, jake, you all have given me advice that ive really taken to heart.. and thanks for that

both, but more for the good. some people are using the computer to do their socializing and refusing to leave the house as a result. the rest of us are using them to socialize more often. i know for myself it's much easier to fuck around with you people as opposed people in real life 'cause they can call you and bother you and show up at your door to piss you off too. people also listen a bit more carefully to what you say in here as opposed to real life.

in real life it seems the people spend more time relating experiences than exploring the depth of meaning and significance in ANYTHING. and when they're not relating they're bitchin' about shit that would have people in Bosnia laughin' their heads off. i know a guy from bosnia. he thinks americans are nice people, but pussies for the most part. is he wrong?

enough, computers are good AND bad, but mostly good for socializing. now, enough of my bitchin'. i got mo' joy to spread.
