In so many ways,
cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and
share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for
friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world,
however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer
screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a
person’s thoughts----or at least the thoughts they type-----are what really
count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this ”faceless”
communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when
you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on
the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation.
Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
But some Internet users
want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love
relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on
whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail
miserably.
Online Love Supporters
of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know
each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online
relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace.
Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view
them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they
want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal”
communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really
themselves.
All of this may be fine
if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem
in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s
imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when
couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite
different than the real person.
So, before looking for
love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll:
“Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer
screen.”
