As I make more friends online, receive warnings about the danger of unconsciously posed such a sweet addiction. Like all respectable warnings, assume that some researchers have discovered something important: that the State cheerful on the net is bad, happy state in real life.
I disagree that something that brings you joy in life, without gain weight without being immoral or illegal, could be harmful, but listen carefully and seek to understand the arguments. It is true that when you have friends online tend to neglect them in the real world? It is true that as people become increasingly dependent on strangers whom you meet in cyberspace, you love more than those who are with you in real space?
I do not think the two worlds must be necessarily in opposition. I know many cases of people who met online and fell in love for real in real life and, especially, can make myself proof that many of those whom I loved my online have become firm friends in real life. But I know there are a million traps in which people were too quick to change their life or too gullible people can fall easily. But there are traps that can give over everywhere in real life, and that measured in pixels and bits.
Dangers and temptations are everywhere, are all over the cliff where we fall. Isolation is more danger online from our loneliness that every day? It's dark threat of betrayal from some people just meet, than we can endure the betrayal of those whom I loved and I device? Slipping between two worlds, knowing that there is no final certainty anywhere. Pass from one reality to another enjoying me, fearing I ...

It's fascinating to spend time online and get to know new people and become friends with them,but it's also important to keep in mind that they are not the same as our real friends,we can't see them the way they truly are,we only communicate from a distance and we don't have the chance to know them very well,so we must always be cautious and try not to be to excited about our online friends because appearances can be deceiving.

Indeed, the Internet can be a very useful tool if you know how to use it and not fall into his traps. We believe that we make friends in the virtual world, but in reality is all a dream, because you do not live in real life, we do not enjoy it, although it is most important, being the real, palpable, which is worth living, it looked more quantifiable, to give them more value. We can be deceived by appearances, false friends, and although the Internet addictive, we can not break world to a virtual life.
Thanks for response.

hai didi, having online friends is not at all bad only we have to be a bit carefull as we know them only as they have told to us about them but same implies for the real life friends too. Only the difference being that we can at least analyse those friends around us. Then becoming addicted of being online surely can isolate us from the friends around us but sometimes we can gain some precious friends online. I think its upon a person that how he take care of his relation online or offline, keeping a balance so having good friends online and also around him or her. Mostly the immature people like children who doesn't know much of the faulty people online get in their trap of them and may be cheated by such people. I had heard of many such incidence where people were cheated. So the only thing is of one to be carefull.

I think the virtual world, the relations established here, the way we view and manage what happens to us in virtually the same rules as our entire life. The same dangers, the same pitfalls, the same illusions. But joy, delight reasons, revelations. I met wonderful people on the net, others we have met in real life, and proved to be as we thought at first, others hope to meet you soon and I'm sure I was not wrong about them.
My real life friends are nice and get along well but not all can have a conversation about books, painting, classical music, with them can only change a recipe, if I talk for an open topic about a book they would become subject shaving, so I act in their world that they, and net of, and virtual friends are my refuge. While the banks create groups of gossip portal, I drink here on mylot, coffee and learn great things, read a book or listening to music, wonderful people talk about various topics and full of information. Maybe I'm wrong, but that I enjoy.
Thanks for response.

I think that time and attention are the key here. We all want to do things that interest us. So, when we are hanging out with our real world friends, we spend time with them and give them out attention, the same goes for our online friends. There is no conflict in my opinion. We neglect because we are human. After all, we cannot hangout with our friends and be with our online friends at the same time. We have to structure and organize our time and attention.

I think that it depends on the person. Sometime a person who is stuck in the house or home can not find friends due to their health and lack of transportation and where they live. I have seen and known people who rely more on their online friend than their real live friends. Their reasoning is that the online friends don't have a reason to lie to you and my response is but in some cases they have MORE of a reason to like to you. It seems to be a cununraum (did not spell right sorry) we are facing in this day and age. I also find some people get soooo caught up on line that they can NOT function properly with others around them.

So it is, depends from person to person. Online site is so slick, you just steal ... I am among those with acute dependence. But I want to leave. Just thought that I met so many wonderful people through the Internet makes me appreciate it more. And some relationships we went real and keep them for you. And I think it depends on us as we leave the world influenced by this, as we steal from real life. Online software is a tool and use it as long as such we will not hurt, on the contrary, will be the best ally in our work.
Thanks for response.
