There is nothing wrong with "living" on the Internet (it has so much to offer!) or creating an e-life... the problem comes when people aren't able to detach themselves from their e-lives, and in the process, start losing their REAL lives to it. That's just unhealthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-35131844044021463682008-10-09T22:06:00.000+02:002008-10-09T22:06:00.000+02:00@saurabhWell I wouldn't like to think of myself as...@saurabh<BR/><BR/>Well I wouldn't like to think of myself as being "addicted" to the net...but being blessed with unrestricted high-speed broadband (we're talking 10Mbps high-speed!) at work; and an equally great wireless connection at home I do spend a lot of time online.<BR/>say about 4hrs a day between work items and meetings.-=A.R.N.=-https://www.blogger.com/profile/01719325314663706788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-85178722180232166542008-10-09T13:11:00.000+02:002008-10-09T13:11:00.000+02:00Me, a person totally addicted to online living.

It's about Freedom. After 2 years of blogging I've realised that it's futile to get worried over online people. Because Online, it's just about numbers words emoticons avatars pictures. Anyone can choose to be anything they want to be. What they really are is difficult to imagine. So why worry?<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364648261052014402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-44198398459302346642008-10-07T22:47:00.000+02:002008-10-07T22:47:00.000+02:00@elaOne of the biggest advantages of the net is al...@ela<BR/><BR/>One of the biggest advantages of the net is also its biggest drawback isn't it?<BR/>You can be anyone you want to be, and spineless cowards who can't lift a finger in real life hide behind masks of threats online and vandalize blogs and homepages.<BR/>On the other hand, i agree with you that some of the most meaningful discussions i've had were over a blog post as well.-=A.R.N.=-https://www.blogger.com/profile/01719325314663706788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-52333601602539527732008-10-07T22:44:00.000+02:002008-10-07T22:44:00.000+02:00@a wondering mind"why are we dependent on an onlin...@a wondering mind<BR/><BR/>"why are we dependent on an online living"? <BR/>hmm, I dunno abt you but I practically work online so I guess some of us don't have much of a choice.<BR/>I wouldn't wanna think of it as a parallel life online as much as I'd like to think of it as an extension of your real life....something that's a part of it.<BR/><BR/>Its like that little puppy that jumps at you from the neighbor's house every evening when you walk home from school.

But why are we so dependent on online living. why is there a need to live this parallel life inspite of our "real" life? do we really believe that we can make a difference by saying something online rather than saying/doing something in "reality"? or do we not have enough freedom of expression in "real" life?<BR/>I was just wondering why I have gotten into this habit of checking my mail.. say 52 times a day. wat am i holding on to? oh well.. i dont know..tell me if you doA wo(a)ndering mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474641052250083409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-55458755099718146562008-10-05T21:25:00.000+02:002008-10-05T21:25:00.000+02:00@FaizaI can't stand abusive language either.
