question 1

I have done this and thinking back on it. With friends in cyber space you tend to live more of a fantasy life and exaggerate situations. For example making things that happen to you worse then they really are or make things seem better then they really are. In another way it could serve as a friend you can speak more comfortably with because you dont really have to worry about a backlash or anything. A third issue I want to bring up is that with a cyberfriend you have exclusive text conversation and some people communicate more effectivly via text then in actual word. Which could serve as a easier transmitter of messages and make both parties more comfortable.

  1. That is a good point you bring up regarding the comfort level and effectiveness of how some people communicate better through text. With this said, by people using text consistently, they get too comfortable and normal social skills are not practiced. This can cause people to feeling less and less comfortable with speaking face to face or even talking to groups of people at a time.
