today, one of my professors referred to me (and, actually, probably all of
you) as "psychologically impaired"1 and another student literally pointed and laughed at me when i admitted to being part of an online community. really, i expected more from a class called cyberethics and cyberculture, but i guess actual understanding of cyberculture from the person who wrote the book is asking too much.
1in a discussion about a woman who left her husband for a man she met online, my professor said "people [who leave real relationships for these fantasies, or who invest themselves in online communities so much that it affects their lives] are psychologically impaired, whether or not they realize it."
