The internet is a very wonderful thing. It allows formerlay isolated people to connect and interact where differences which would be insurmountable in face-to-face or real-time situations become completely unimportant.
On the many arenas the Net offers, even a mouse may roar.
One day soon the importance of the online existance will become so great that roles shall be reversed and those who were strong shall become weak. I wonder if the nerds and geeks of tomorrow will step into the role of the bully of the past, or if they will carry enough remembrance of how it was to be oppressed that they shall refuse to play the game as it is played here and now... |
