+---------------------------------------------+
prncess says, "i do too"
flyingelmow says, "okay Honey lets try really talking"
F-daddy99 says, "like the town of blacksburg is this little place of like 35000 ppl, and all of them dont have access to many things, this article shows the brighter side of the net and wat it can offer, people in blacksburg are able to do so much thanks to the net"
prncess says, "its easier to read"
+---------------------------------------------+
pizza holds up a big sign: | makes it ez to read i guess |
+---------------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | that, and its easier to read |
+---------------------------------------+
pizza says, "hahahahahahaha"
HoneyB says, "well I think the entire article is self explanatory"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | pretty straightforward |
+---------------------------------------+
HoneyB says, "it isn't like the other article"
Marisa says, "so do i"
flyingelmow says, "right but as far as the small businesses are concerned it can hurt business"
HoneyB says, "that is all complicated "
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | |
+---------------------------------------+
VReyes says, "OK SO IT WAS BASICALLY ABOUT HOW THIS WHOLE CITY USES THE INTERNET A LOT"
pizza asks, "so what was the issue in the article to you guys?"
HoneyB says, "how it helps individuals but is threatening to small business"
F-daddy99 says, "the issue is how the city relies on the net so much"
prncess says, "well i think it had a lot to say about how even if people arent internet users.. they are still effected by the uprising use of the computer"
Heroic_Zero laughs out loud.
flyingelmow says, "okay if it was that self explanatory then the question that followed the piece is easily understood... what would the differences be in different size communities"
Marisa says, "they get left out"
pizza laughs out loud.
HoneyB says, "so a whole lot of laughing & not enough discussing"
Envied says, "you guys have really said all that you can say about the article"
pizza says, "the larger the size of the community, the more there would be for it"
prncess says, "yes honey b lets be serious here"
CLewis says, "its good that a small town is coming up as far as technology"
Envied says, "it was short and to the point"
Envied says, "i agreee"
HoneyB asks, "ok was there anyone who didn't understand???"
flyingelmow says, " wellif you end up looking at the effects this is osmehting that these benefits are lost in the larger community"
Envied says, "our whole nation needs to be computer literate"
pizza asks, "so which issue do you wanna discuss first?"
prncess says, "needs to be? no.. are becoming is more like it"
flyingelmow says, "where to post your kids soccer practices and the team events on a board where there are tow or three teams is realistic.. but when it comes to posting say in LA all county has one bullletin board"
Abnormal_DNA says, "I think that the author was trying to raised the question, "When does the use of technology too much and when should we stop?""
prncess asks, "this really wasnt a negative article... did any one find anything that is contraversial?"
flyingelmow says, " you dont know hwo posted what .. who its for.. or even care to mingle through all of that to see whatr is applicable to you"
HoneyB says, "ohhhh I like that DNA"
HoneyB says, "couldn't have summed it up better myself"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | no, didnt seem to bash comps like |
| every other artcle has done |
+---------------------------------------+
VReyes says, "i just found it kind of sad how they rely so much on computers"
CLewis says, "i like how the author made gave us a good picture of the community. i kinda felt like i was there"
prncess says, "an issue that wasnt discussed is how people portray themselves as other people"
VReyes says, "what's gonna happen if they break down or something"
F-daddy99 says, "ight check it out, we do like Instant Messages and stuff like that, but in places like Blacksburg, Virginia, the use instant messages for so much more, they use it as a main form of communication, we use it for fun, just to talk to friends, it is showing how smaller cities really rely on the use of the net, for instance, the small businesses, they really get affected by people's comments, that is a good thing, places out here, we hear so many things about like restaurants and stuff, some people say it is good others say it is bad, but in small cities, wat they say really means something becuase they commutnities are so tightly knit"
Marisa says, "i agree v"
HoneyB asks, "if who breaks down?"
pizza says, "the computers"
HoneyB says, "right, f-daddy....so it's helping individuals yet it is threatening for small businesses"
flyingelmow says, "DNA hi again.. personally i beleive that the limit is soon found that the nefits of such communities cant find the freedom when they are such a conglomerate.. the disssolusioned connection bewteeen the small town hick and the big cityy cow enthusiast. is not likey to happen when they cant responsd to each opther or eccesarilly find each other through all this posting"
flyingelmow says, "if you look at our conversation at this moment loook hard to keep up and respond to one person.. because by the time you respond to one thing it has past and there 10 more messages"
pizza asks, "but doesnt this allow for more diversity and an increase in the flow of new ideas?"
Thu Feb 24 13:32:53 2005 PST
CLewis says, "i agree with flyingelmow"
Marisa says, "lets go home"
prncess asks, "yeah businesses are being affected.. and people are becoming to reliant on others.. doesnt this city kind of take the meaning out of indvidualism a little bit?"
Marisa asks, "is it time yet?"
F-daddy99 says, "not neccessarliy threating, if a business offers a good product, ppl will discuss it on the net, it is kinda like gettin to really kno a place from someone else's prespective without all the BS the media throws in. like if u want to ask my opinion on a restaurant, u would trust wat i say more than wat a magazine says becuase chances r that a magazine was paid to put an article in their paper, u r gettin a first-hand prespective from someone who lives near u an does wat u do"
prncess says, "in a smaller since that it"
CLewis says, "there is not that much to talk about anymore"
flyingelmow says, "it opens the door for diversity.. but the difference may soon be instead of being diverse in the classroom and accepted of the difference... being diverce in the campus when all student in the quad and your invisible"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | pretty much everything about the |
| article's been discused |
+---------------------------------------+
HoneyB says, "so I guess the author is trying to point out, is that the internet is allowing this town to bond closer together but at the same time, they become aware of what businesses are good (that's just an example) and whatnot so while the email system is proving to be helpful in one area, it's obviously hurting another and therefore, the question that DNA posed earlier is right...to me at least...the net is good but how do you know when to put a stop? or whatever his question was"
VReyes says, "everyone looks at the article in a diferent way "
pizza says, "i havent seen Heroic_Zero post in a while"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | I post in bs format |
+---------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | aka signs |
+---------------------------------------+
HoneyB says, "right F-daddy....I should have said it could also be helpful and hurtful for business."
HoneyB says, "my mistake"
CLewis says, "ther is no real negatives in this article and i think its good that they are using computers more"
F-daddy99 says, "ya im wit u on that "
prncess says, "yeah "
Abnormal_DNA says, "Personally, I believe that everything should be accessible via Internet but It is important to maintain that human interaction. "
flyingelmow says, "im with you on those point"
+---------------------------------------+
| found it refreshing not to read an |
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | article that didnt only bash |
| computers |
+---------------------------------------+
VReyes says, "what about those who dont use the internet"
HoneyB says, "DNA, I like your style"
CLewis says, "that is so treu DNa"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | I agree with DNA |
+---------------------------------------+
HoneyB says, "& I think that's what the author is trying to point out too..."
pizza asks, "but is internet really interaction?"
Abnormal_DNA says, "Honey TNX"
CLewis says, "no"
Envied says, "i think it is interaction"
F-daddy99 says, "we r on the net and we r interacting"
HoneyB asks, "did you guys read about the grandma who just prefers to write emails because all you have do is sit and type???"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | it is |
+---------------------------------------+
HoneyB asks, "how pathetic is that?!?"
VReyes says, "dna i agree people still nedd to physicallly socialize"
Marisa says, "you suck dna"
pizza says, "hey now, dont start flaming"
prncess says, "i have a quote..."
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | dont throw flammes at people please |
+---------------------------------------+
CLewis says, "the internet will never be as personal and intinate as person to person"
HoneyB says, "she is completely communicating through the net & prefers writing emails over actually talking to people & shit"
HoneyB says, "I mean & crap"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | I see enough of that at forums |
+---------------------------------------+
pizza says, "enough straying"
+--------------------------------------+
Abnormal_DNA holds up a big sign: | I know she did not ment to say |
| that!!! |
+--------------------------------------+
flyingelmow says, ""DNA question on the topic of online civility... what do you do in those times where you ahve to be reserved and check yourself.. like in here where what you say if people know whos saying it then you have to face it when you see the person.. how does that lead to open discussion truely..and or how does that inhibit the true potential"
prncess says, "who apparently hasn't heard the news that online communications spells the death of literacy""
+--------------------------------------------+
HoneyB holds up a big sign: | alrighty...so we're discussing the |
| reading, remember? |
+--------------------------------------------+
Envied says, "you guys are crazy"
+--------------------------------------------+
HoneyB holds up a big sign: | GEEZ! |
+--------------------------------------------+
flyingelmow says, "Honey i dont htink its pathetic to want to write emails"
flyingelmow says, "in lieu of calling or writing hand letters"
Envied says, "its boring"
HoneyB says, "I think it's pathetic that she prefers writing emails than actually talking to people"
F-daddy99 asks, "princees,, wat u think taht means?"
pizza says, "its not pathetic, but it cant be used as a substitute for human interaction"
flyingelmow says, "but in replacement of interaction im with you there"
VReyes says, "obviously internet helps peoole communicate "
Envied says, "i agree"
prncess says, "who cares she one women.. big deal"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | it does |
+---------------------------------------+
prncess says, "i dont think shes that significant"
CLewis says, "at lot of times people feel more comfortable talking in a place that they cant be seen and feel less pressure so they open up more but i still like talking to people"
HoneyB says, "right but that one woman, prncess, represents an entire group of people that the author is talking about"
flyingelmow says, "i can write a perosn and say all i need to say and freindly in 8 min then take 30 minets to call someone"
HoneyB asks, "you really think she's the only person out of 6 billion people in the world that's like that?"
HoneyB says, "ok flying- that's you"
HoneyB says, "and I'm me"
pizza says, "ok let me just say this then"
prncess says, "i was kiddin"
pizza says, "you can talk to someone for hours over IM or watever, but you dont know them until you meet them"
HoneyB says, "I think it's pathetic...especially the way they explain it...they say "all you have to do is sit there & type""
Envied says, "that is so tru"
flyingelmow says, "No i think you might have read to deeply in her one comment"
VReyes says, "it's sad"
Marisa says, "true pizza"
flyingelmow says, "thats all i think it was true at the same time"
prncess says, "ok so this women.. she is kind of unique to the story because its a common stereo type that elder people are non computer compatible"
F-daddy99 says, "the article is just how ppl can really use the net for goo"
F-daddy99 says, "good"
+---------------------------------------+
Heroic_Zero holds up a big sign: | the internet does both, help and |
| degrade communication skills |
+---------------------------------------+
CLewis says, "true princess"
flyingelmow says, "HOney your always right.. i conceed.. but your not this time :p"

F-daddy99 says, "topic idea: how smaller cities use the net for so much help while bigger cities tend to not recieve as much help but use it more for pleasure"
CLewis says, "no we dont"
