The joy of being online
It isn’t just about the endless resources and information on any field of knowledge (and un-knowledge) that you can reach in a few tappings on the keyboard and a left click of your glowing mouse; it’s about social potential.
What that means, the social potential of the web, is the numerous mind-blowing opportunities that the internet with its various applications can grant you to explore other people. That is right, you explore people.
Personally, I cannot imagine my life without the internet. But I am a hopeless junkie so this may not apply to many people out there who use the internet for strictly business-related affairs. I have met great people online, some of whom have helped shape my character of today (shape, not define). Some of those people restored my faith, if any existed, in the human persona. Others, well, made me think twice about the web-socializing scheme I enjoy.
But good or bad, all of those individuals have taught me things impossible to capture had I met them face-to-face in the first place. Can you relate to this?

Good. It’s a big gallery of net junkies, I see.
