Klein and Ebert

These articles all comment on the influence of the Internet on a person's loneliness.Klein argued that the Internet is an extension of man's physical and mental capabilities. for example the picture of the "little boy" and his avatar in star wars pretty much re-birthed him into a fully capable version of himself. The man without use of his hands to type or move the avatar, speaks to the computer to converse with his friends without hassle of moving much. At first when i glanced at the picture of the disabled 35 year old I assumed he was a miserable being doomed to his house for the rest of his life but after more analyzing I saw happiness in his eyes. What could bring a man such happiness with such a disadvantage for activity? The Internet.

In Ebert's first blog, clarification towards the effect of Internet on the lonely was the topic. The difference between a hindering Internet as opposed to a helping one would be the motive of usage. when people who utilize the Internet for useless fancies it can deprive one of personal interactions as opposed to virtual. on the other hand, those who are lonely and depressed use the Internet to speak their feelings to those willing to listen. sometimes these users have very few real friends to convey their issues and dilemmas with and maybe don't even want to listen to them. this results in the lonely and depressed people to go on blogs or comment on others to get their issue out for understanding. empathy is what these people look for so they feel not as lonely and to feel as if they are not the only ones in the world dealing with that certain problem. his second blog continues to expand his understanding on why the Internet is so vital to these lonely people.

i use the Internet mostly to socialize with friend via Facebook and to educate myself by searching through facts and news to better prepare myself for the future.

In all i view the Internet as drawing us closer to others. we are all part of one whole and it is our duty to help and connect with other areas of our net... aka Internet. The blogs and forums all create an opportunity for opinions and understanding others lives. 

Finally i do agree with all of these statements because being in love is not one sole reason but a vast assortment of reasons that all lead to a relationship between two people whether it be the smiles, the understanding, the children, the social status, whatever. marriage is a thing that can be caused by many different feelings that will end up in connections between two beings.
