WEEK 7!

SO online and off-line identity: well to tell you the truth i found the reading somewhat depressing i mean the idea of "late modern intamicy based on talk rather than passion, negotiation rather than commitment and the advancement of self rather than the development of the couple suggest that the internet is UNIQUELY PLACE TO FACILITATE!" Is this what the world is turning into dating as a research assingment "a pool of resources" for which we pick and choose from! Like i get the whole like use the internet to overcome barriers like shyness etc but i grew up watching way to many disney movies and whatever happend to the whole "animal attraction" thing i mean since the beginning of time we have basicaly pused dating like hunting for pray i mean Dunedin on a sat night is a battleground filled with hunters (can be men or women) and animals (chosen partner) everyone gets drunk and pursues their chosen catch of the day! like im all for technological advancement but there are some things that should be sacred and thats the mating game! I mean i could be wrong in 20 years from now i might be using one of these sites (touch wood it wont come to that but who knows! scary) But as the artical says when the bodies of users are left behind they are able to choose and construct their virtual forms and identities - so really doesnt that mean we are living a lie through these internet realities? or maybe a sa society we are becoming way to damn picky so we use these sites to pick and choose or should i say NEGOTIATE romantic encounters! well thats all im going to say im sorry if i have upset anyone but that article worried me but whatever works for the individual! Thanks for reading until next week bye bye!
