One or Two Lives

The Internet for me is a place I go to and look at my fantasy sports teams, facebook, the weather, and my e-mail. Its very easy to also write a research paper without leaving your house, but besides the point, the Internet has become to much of a way to meet people. Now, I know that facebook has that appearance to it but you can choose to make it private and accept the friends you want to look at your personal information and pictures of you. Now the whole digital or cyberspace that goes on I feel has bad news written all over it. I know that everyone on those sites aren't all stalkers or bad people because a lot of people will say they met their husband or wive on them. What bothers me is the people that do use it to create false identity and lure people into traps. It's amazing that things like Second Life can exist because it really shows how technology has grown in the past years. It's just a very touchy subject for me because if you want to be the person you are in Second life, then why not make it real in your own life.
