How has the internet shaped a new world? Are things opening up for us or is the world becoming more isolated through this pretention of online identity?

Has anyone outthere, read plato's analogy of the cave and seen a tie in with the Matrix about the nature of reality?

Do we really *know* another person that we meet *solely* through cyberspace?

The theory of this thread is that the answer often is "no."

I'm writing a paper right now and need some input and ideas from all of you. Maybe it will even be a fun discussion.

My concern in this paper is the future of free speech on the Internet. Most people don't realize is that our right to free speech is enforceable only against the (American) government.

It never ends there, does it? Our choice of beginnings, endings, and turnings reinterpret all else that was said. Introductions hold the power of context: one shapes the way what follows will be seen. Conclusions hold the power of interpretation: one has the potential to re-create the entire previous discussion. Turnings and other conjunctions define personal relationship to what has immediately preceded.

The most common previous usage was in the context of equipment inspection, and gradually became generalised in much the same way as "rules-Nazi" did a few decades earlier, to define a person perceived as being completely encased within technology or rules respectively, to the eradication of all personal judgement.
