Dec 4 2012: Aja, at the moment Facebook and similarities work not that dissimilar from old mailbox/bbs systems that exited in the 1980s. FB has added a like button and everything looks flasher.but the quality of connections still often relies on RL meeting to gather depth, don't you think? also the interaction is largely text-based and asynchronous.
That said, I've never been to Second Life. Interaction in face-tface situations is much more comlex than what we are doing here. here we have to leave much of how the other orients to us, to our imagination.
Dec 4 2012: how do you see the link btw online and offline connections? Howard R talked long ago about the strengthening and connection-building effect of online communities. how do you experience that yourself?
Dec 4 2012: and in relation to Aja's question, how do you strike the balance and manage (your) children's use of the internet and other activities considering the draw of screens is so great to children (and adults)?
