Cyberspace (BG)

I thought this weeks reading was interesting and makes a good point. Cyberspace really is creating a blurry boundary between the internet and reading books. so many people are becoming bound and taken over by the internet that its hard to get a word in with them. Its not just looking up the news or looking up research any more. its the video games and sites such as Facebook, that have so many people glued to their computers or electronics. I think that if its research your looking for, the internet is not the best option. I mean yeah its fast and convenient, but its not tangible, and most sights you shouldn't believe everything you read. Internet i think is one of those things you have to be very careful with. You cant let it take over your life, even though it can be very easy to do. Its good to still get out and see people face to face and not always chatting over the computer. while the internet can be fun and helpful, its learning the balance of it is the hard part. its crazy how easy and how fast people can become addicted to the internet these days. eventually technology will end up replacing just about every thing it seems like.

  1. Yes - the omnipresence (there's that word again) of the internet can be a little disconcerting.

    It's good to have "balance," as you say.
