Computers will destroy most relationships of those who do not know much about them. They are always fighting over the PC if they only own one and as soon as there is a problem with it immediately they blame the other even when it is a very simple fix.

Wouldn't want it. That would totally take the fun out of the dating experience, and having a real live person to interact with. I kinda like not knowing what to totally expect out of a partner. I like the spontaneity that mutual attraction brings. I don't want to have to program anything, besides everyday my needs could change. what I wanted to do yesterday may not be the same thing I want to do today. Then I would have to task of reprogramming the thing. What if I'm not too computer savvy? No thanks. I don't even like the electrical gadgets they have out now for a woman's enjoyment. Personally I Iike a warm, firm hand to touch me, and a nice warm body to lay down with. Don't want nothing robotic, what if it short circuits in the act. Talk about some SHOCKING sex. LOL.

One positive aspect is that computers can help us build new knowledge, share it with the world and communicate ideas, feelings, emotions, etc.\n\n  One negative aspect is that some people are co-dependent, they do depend too much in the "artificial intelligence", this means some simple operations are hard to do without the computer.\n\n   Another aspect that is positive is that computers make us free in the world, we can find different cultures and learn from them.\n\n   Another neg. aspect is that could harm eyes, produce some radiation but there are ways to prevent this.

I think it depends on how you approached the whole idea in the first place. Say, for example that your initial reason for venturing into cyber-space was to "find" someone: all of your motives now become suspect because you're motivated to say whatever is required (much of which is likely to be untrue) to get what you want. Not to mention the very obvious question of why you are having difficulty finding someone within your real day to day world. Not a good beginning, and not much to work with. Conversely, however, let's say your experiences were such that you were tired of chasing body part after body part, realized that those decisions were superficial, and that what was needed was a chance to connect with positive people doing positive things and expressing positive ideas, then the anonymity of cyber-space frees you from the snares of judging things based on trappings you know have no substance. Now you're a person hungry to listen: you're ready to meet a woman's mind and you're open to what she's about. Assuming what she tells you is the truth and that you're doing likewise, it would be easy to at least begin to fall in love with that type of connection sight unseen. Lying would be self-defeating; sabotaging what you came here for. Distance then becomes less relevant, because it's now less about sex and more about really loving someone. Someone answered that it was possible but not probable; I actually agree with her, because it depends on the motivations of the people involved. But for a certain type of people, or specifically, people at a certain stage in their development, I have to believe it could work just fine. It is, at least, as good a place to start as any.

The Internet has vastly changed the way we communicate with friends and family.  It has not only made things far faster and simpler but it has also created an entirely new vocabulary for most people (i.e. peeps, lol, rofl, etc.).  From our use of the Internet, chat rooms, etc. we have created a new way of expressing ourselves and that includes with our friends and family.  Also, sharing pictures and special moments on video is greatly improved with the use of the Internet and e-mail capabilities.  The Internet is creating tighter-knit friends and families on the whole just by making it possible to communicate in a far more instant way.

With so much going on on the Internet now days it's hard not to form strong bonds with people you've met or even only known on line. Meeting people on line is interesting. There are some that see the Internet as a media to be whomever they've always wanted to be. Others use the Internet to truly be themselves, either way talking to people on line seems to be without the barriers that you find in the real world..which understandably leads to strong feelings at times. Unfortunately I've found that heartbreak on line is just as common if not more so than heartbreak in the real world.

One of the big things I have noticed is that I have stayed in better contact with friends. First is was with e-mail that made it easier to keep up with friends on my own time instead of having to pick up a phone.\n\nThen came things like Myspace that have connected me with old friends and allowed me to communicate pictures and stories of my daily life and they can communicate to me and the rest of their friends the same way. \n\nComputers have allowed me to keep a much broader base of friends. My friends are all around the country but they all feel just next door because of computers.

No. We're gaining new ones. I have felt at times a tangible difference in the way we socialise since the advent of the net. If you're stuck for information, e.g. you can't find a place in town, you can ask someone, or you can use the net. But there's somewhere in between. The net can fill in some of the gaps in your knowledge and people in town can complete your knowledge. They themselves might have acquired some of their knowledge from the net. So the feeling you get is "we're all better connected. I wonder if I SHOULD know something BECAUSE it's probably on the net." Do you get what I mean? It's like we don't need to ask around as much for information with our voice because it's there for all to see on the network. I.e. it's a social tool that makes socialising more efficient.

Log off and get on with your life. Believe it or not, there was a time before the Internet when people did things in real life. Talked to each other, played sports, listened to music, read books, had sex with another person, went out to pubs, clubs etc. Anything in fact other than sitting in front of a computer typing frantically like I'm doing right now. And if you're asking why I'm not taking my own advice and not going out - it's dark and it's raining!

I hope you date somebody off of the computer, or else the it would be pretty hard to have a physical relationship.  \n\nYou can date somebody off of the computer, but you had better make sure that they are who they say they are first.  There are a lot of weirdo's pretending to be something that they are not just to get to young people on the internet.

well if you talk to someone regularly even as just friends if you can see their picture it seems to make them more "real" because then you can picture a human you are talking to instead of a computer.

Strangely enough swinging IS becoming more common.  I attribute this to the Internet. Meeting couples prior to the Internet involved swing clubs and or advertising in swing magazines. The success ratio in these traditional ways of meeting couples was pretty slim.  The Internet offers a degree of anonymity where you can discuss, trade pictures, and converse with others who are curious or into this lifestyle. You can ease into it and just as quickly back out unlike placing an ad, or walking into a club. It's not for everyone however. It's been described as a "marriage enhancer, or destroyer." For us it's been an unbelievable marriage enhancer!  We've been together 15 years and married 8. We feel we are solid.  We're now 4 years into this "lifestyle" and there has NEVER once been any feelings of jealousy or insecurity or whatever. We enjoy it for what it is. Pure unadulterated pleasure.

Companionship, recreation, and procreation.

People generally sit alone in front of the computer, reading or playing games (or asking/answering questions!).  Before there were computers, people were more likely to be with their family or friends.  Even with television, it was more of a social activity.  On the other hand, the computer has made it possible to meet people you might never have met otherwise (though that can be a good thing or a bad thing).  Good thing:  I met my husband through an online community.  Bad thing:  There was that guy in Germany who killed and ate someone he met online.  It's an extreme example, but it's true that there are a lot of twisted people out there.
