The Social Internet
2 comments October 22nd, 2007
I remember when being an avid internet user meant that you were a social hermit; that you would rather sit in a dark room in front of your computer than interact with people in the ‘real world’; and that there must be something wrong with you.
I think this was back in the days when extroverts ruled the world, and their opinion of people who would rather read books than to socialise with people was simply transferred to internet users. If you weren’t out playing sports or engaging in social activities like parties, etc, then there must be something wrong with you.
