“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions,”

Cyberspace is sick (real sick, not the cool kind), What inappropriate actions were once only seemingly occurring on the dark streets of the foreign world are now happening in our hands, literally. Dramatic, however we've all come to know this long before i brought it up here. The fact that 'sex'ting has become an actual word is weird. Just before on my MSN news it asked me if i wanted to know if i had a 'sexting' problem?!
Now not only are psychologists going to have to weed through peoples issues they are going to have to include the fact that most of this interaction takes place through a screen. Websites like facebook, twitter, chat roulette etc... and the fact that all our information, cv, photos, papers, are digital makes reality kind of lacking of tangible proof of ourselves.
This constant appropriation of ourselves onto a digital world is scary. What happens when facebook no longer works like floppy disks? Who are we then and who are our friends because right now i have about 300.
MSN and ICQ became super popular because it allowed you to say things to people you wouldn't say in person and have long awkward conversations from the safety of your own screen.
Someone i recently started talking to asked me if we were 'MSN dating',and it was true in a sense that we were getting to know eachother through the PC but in reality i probalby hadn't had a longer than 5 min convo with him. What if tomorrow all communication lines were cut, what are we left with? Who are we left with? Who are you?
It just got me to thinking about all the things that computers and phones have allowed us to do based on this illusion of a safety net. In reality by communicating in the past we'd open doors, but rather than opening doors for ourselves to walk through we are just opening windows all over to get a look at whats out there.
