Alright I’m out of idea. So some anonymous people commented to suggest me to write about reality versus cyber world. Fine I take that. That is such a broad area, and I don’t know what to focus actually.
Let’s start with the definition shall we? For me, cyberworld is just a word to describe the scenario that revolves around computers, internet, networks, technologies or stuff like that (I consider phone as a technology also btw). Our technology has changed rapidly; nowadays, mails are much more faster to be send via wire. Songs can be downloaded, movies can be pirated. What else? Anonymity.
People rarely knows who is behind the screen. Who is behind the phone. How he or she looks like. How he or she behaves like. Or how he or she respond to the things that you say via the wire. Except you already know who is behind the line, you cannot guess how he or she respond, or more freaking facts, you don’t know whether he or she is serious or not!
When anonymity arised, people always tend to show their true inner self in cyber world. The “alter ego”. Example? Me. I take this cyber world to shout my inner self. I cursed, I hate, I love. I say anything I want. Hey I won’t lie to you, its a relief. And you won’t do much damage. Good therapy for me. (Oh yes, all people need their space. That’s for real. And this is one of my place)
What’s wrong with that? Nothing I think. In fact, thats somehow make you easier to talk things about you. Take SMS as an example. Even though you don’t know how the facial expression of the others (the one you SMSing with), but you can speak your thoughts easily right?
How many people has been disturbed with anonymous number, misscalls, messages? Or how many people has been stalked with technology?
But hey, that’s about people! Not technology!
Technology for me is not to be blame but accepted and used in a right way. It resembles the reality world actually; how many stalking cases has been reported in the real world? How many death threats has been delivered via snail mail? How many fake love letter has been send? How many cons or theft has been done?
Technology has created a similar world; its just easier. No emotional effect, you say? Well take a peek at how divorce has been sent via SMS? No emotional effect then? People is a thing equipped with emotional and psychological; its just impossible to say that another things used by people will not have enough emotional involved.
Reminiscing the old time of mine, I smiled to the things that I’ve done. Stalking random numbers? Sending spam and junks email? Messaging random numbers? haha! I’ve made quite a number of friends and enemy back then.
Back to the topic, its how you used and behave in this cyber world that will determined everything. Thats the bottom line.
And I’ve learned how to take out my alter ego to the real world besides this cyber world. My world is the same between this two.
P/s: That’s it people, I can’t produce something up to the quality if I don’t have any point to focus on. Y’all want a single, fuck that! Take this one, and throw me some more ideas on what to focus on. Else? Fuck that, like Korn says.
