Did human attitudes changed with the development of information technology? Have you ever think that you wouldn't do this or react like this if you were engaging peoples or situations physically compare to virtually using the information technology?
I think the answer is quite obviously...YES. Physical and virtual is very different environment. In physical environment you can feel the untold signal radiated from the person you are communicating with (of course this still depends on the sensing mode of the person who's receiving it). But in virtual environment, most of the time, it's based on visual and most likely our own imagination.
You could say that the virtual environment stimulates human instinct to manipulate. This made it easier for us to use the advantage of exist in virtual environment to build our own personalities. We can be anyone with thousands of different kind of characteristics within the virtual environment.
So what should be our online attitudes within the virtual environment? This kind of questions should not have any clear answer at all. It's like asking someone 'what should be the correct way to live your life?' But both are very serious questions that peoples should ask themselves as virtual environment is invading more and more into our life.
The answers in my book has listed below points thus far:
- Global's mindset; Local's action
- Subscribe to popular websites that are only belong to our own hardcore interest category.
- Be a responsible information disseminator and commenter.
- Don't provide too much of private information.
- Keep up the curiosity level to selectively try different things.
Oh, there's one last point that's the most important of all which I forgot to mention above. We must limit our online duration!!!
Why?
Because we still need the physical environment to have an excellent life!
