Ever get the weird feeling your posts are coming off wrong? Or that you're getting to know people in the weirdest of ways, people you've never met?
Most people meet and don't know what they have in common except for time passing and offerring up that which binds. The first thing we know is the face. Over time they may come up with a pet/nickname for friends, but in exception to para/military organizations this rarely happens first.
Here, or on other chatboards, there are often no faces, and the nicknames come first, as well, the common bond, in the this case, The Church, comes up first.
This has been my first chatboard experience, and it has been loads of fun. I used to think the emoticons were goofy, but it is amazing how much humor or sarchasm depends on our facial expressions. And you know, it has been said that over half of all communication is body language. What here of that I ask?
I am almost a Luddite. I resent Cell Phones and used to think "computer people" were anti-social (YEARS AGO). Now here I am and it's 2003, I like my computer, I don't have a cell phone, but have more in common and communicate with people that I have never met more than I do those around me when I walk the streets of my own town. Weird?
How does this happen, and what are the thoughts of others here on Chatboard Psychology? Is this a Huxliesque glimpse into the future?
