Temat: What does internet mean to you?
İlter K.:
Let's start from:
What made you write so many things in this thread in first place - are you intrigued?
Maybe because you've felt there are things that you can add from yourself... because you thought, your thoughts can matter for some... or, you had a lot of free time and you just, wanted to write.
Yeah, I think I wrote much cuz it's a nice thread. I guess it's a good topic for research and in fact many theses probably were and are being written about it ;) So as I can "generate" many thinks and share them with intelligent ppl and meanwhile yet exercise my cripple English - well, taking it :)
So hey ho - let's go!

... Another feature is that in RL discussions have commonly two aspects - 1) sport 2) direct impact on your life.
I don't see such a strong division. Neither in real life, nor using another medium (ie internet).
Neither do I - I meant them rather as components which are likely to be mixed rather not in a straightforward 'amplitude' way but as signals on a non-linear element producing yet different components often in the feelings domaun(as you work with sound I'm sure you understand me - frequency mixing :)).
My point is that in the internet the second component at least should be considered signficantly smaller, so the first is subject rather to harmonics generation, scattering (eg. Raman) or self-modulation than wavelength-mixing. It makes the "spectrum" of the phenomenon less complex and rather dominated by single peaks which locally can have high spectral density which may explain that reactions may be rapid indeed. LOL - I love explaining RL on the signal processing examples :)
In RL we rather have a continuous spectrum, that's why we can experience a broader range of feelings.
The only difference is the way we interact. It's just not "real time" in here. The interaction is different, and usually much slower than the real life. But anything else is pretty much 'real' to me.
Yeah, indeed it's a major difference. And don't you think it makes a real difference? Normally I'm operating in real time, so when I interact otherwise maybe I'm not behaving as the real me?
OK. Now I'll try to be briefer finally.
You convinced me that internet and RL aren't so much separated, that they interfere, interact and overlap, but still I think I can figure they differ significantly... In frequency domain ;)
