Has the INTERNET made us less HUMAN-LIKE?

[Master Chief]

I wonder why we socialise when all we do is lie, steal, & cheat each other. What is the point of being social?

...I'm assuming you've had some horrible experiences.

It's a human thing. On top of those we also have fun, get f**ked up and live for each other.

Anyhoo yeah, the internet has the potential to make us less human-like, but only if we let it. As in, someone almost never leaving their house and always posting on message boards. It can definitely dumb down social skills since everything is just a google search away, there's almost no need to actually interact with an actual person ever.

You should have SuperSarge babies together and you'll make the first intranets baby.

So, what do you like talking about?

Also, I like time to myself too, but we're social creatures. I'd kill myself if I could never interact face to face with other human beings.

I can talk about animals, comics, movies, RPG's, stuff that I'm interested in. I can even talk politics, science and religion with some people, but only if they're not going to go all psycho on me when I state a different opinion. I enjoy the company of friends, but there are times I need to break away on my own and decompress.

Classic introvert. That's what the internet is great for, all the talk with none of the BS. I've found a nice balance but I still get f**king drained if I'm out too long.

This is obviously the way of the future; but is it good for us..?

It's not good to sit in front of a computer all day and you really have to find the right balance.

Also , Farmville will definately make anyone less human-like .
