10433 - de Susanna (Spain) - 2009-05-27 Soci�t� / Politique : "Teenagers and Technology" Do you think online relationships are replacing real life ones or you just think they are complementary?? I am wondering if one online relation could end up being more "real", in the sense of truthful, than an offline one?? Yrs Susanna

11523 - Réponse de Samantha , 16 ans (USA) - 2010-08-25 You know, this is a very good question. I see no reason why online relationships couldn't be as real or meaningful as real-life ones, provided both people are honest. But while you can normally tell if someone was lying to you in real life, how could you tell if they were lying to you on the internet? What if I told you all that my name is Rebecca and I'm 25 years old? You'd probably believe me, because how woulf you know otherwise? That's the main problem with internet relationships as far as I can see. Lying is just so much easier. Of course, I don't think relationships can really go anywhere very far into the future if the people never meet. There's just a point where you need to see this person and be with them for real.

10540 - Réponse de Dmitry , 26 ans (Ukraine) - 2009-07-09 Saludos Nika, you mentioned an interesting example from your personal experience... I've read some articles on this issue and have also seen various opinions of people/psychologists/network engineers etc. There's no opinion which could make ONE and THE ONLY understanding of online relationships. It's an issue of discussion, and everyone brings his or her own ideas to this discussion... What could be said without doubt is that "online life" creates certain changes in human psychology and everyday life. Whether these changes are positive or negative, everyone decides in his/her own manner. ; 0))

10483 - Réponse de Dmitry ;)) , 26 ans (Ukraine) - 2009-06-19 Hola Susanna! (And greetings to Spain, one of the European country i'm most attracted to..) This topic is really interesting, it could include various understandings. I would say, online relationships have a trend to limit our "real" (usual) communication with world, but at the same time they may be useful in deepening our knowledge about world and people. But the results of these process (limiting/deepening) are very individual and could be discussed in a very contrast way... That's what i do think about it! And what's your personal opinion? It's a pity i don't have your e-mail to send you some personal note about this topic;))

10456 - Réponse de scholar (us) - 2009-06-08 I think that in many cases, nicknames are used to be able to express oneself without breaking conventions that must be followed to keep a certain reputation in real life. As you point out this is sort of interesting. Also, I think it is one of the most appealing parts of the internet. You can put your true feelings and ideas out there to get feedback. Its kind of like the internet gives us more freedom than traditional communication, which has so many old conventions and what not.

10453 - Réponse de Susanna (Spain) - 2009-06-05 Hi Scholar! You mention the problem of identity and frauds in Internet, that's an interesting topic to discuss!!. Well,probably, this explains why people tend to use "nicknames" in the net. But I am not sure if they do it just to protect themselves (you know you hear so many weird things happening...) or because they just wish to feel free and to be able to express themselves without limitations and that maight lead to misidentification. What do you think? Susanna

10452 - Réponse de Susanna (Spain) - 2009-06-05 Hi Kyril, Interesting view you have of online contacts. Probably you are right saying they can not be called "relationship" in a general way , either because they are spontaneous or because they tend to be superficial and end up being just an exchange of information. But, even so, don't you think that contacts in the Internet are more interactive than radio or TV?. Are'nt they more "social" activities than radio or TV? Susanna

10442 - Réponse de scholar (us) - 2009-05-31 I believe that online relationships tend to be complementary, but that with all things some people take it too far and cease to live in their real life. In general I find that the internet is fun to be able to bridge distance and culture. We all use the same internet and can access it from all over the globe. This is a great tool for meeting people that would otherwise never cross your path. The other interesting thing about the internet is that oftentimes the user remains largely anonymous. This means that the writer removes the masks that they must metaphorically wear in society. In this sense the relationships may be more real because the people involved may let more of their self come out. With that said there are always instances where entire online relationships are frauds because one or more users are completely misidentifying themselves to seem more appealing. However, I do not believe these are the instances you were wishing to discuss.

10435 - Réponse de Kirill (Poland) - 2009-05-28 Hey Susanna! Well, online relationships aren't "relationship" in clear meaning, they're rather form of exchanging information and experience. It's the same with consulting radio and TV inspite of going to concerts.
