Do you think the net has somehow impeded the development of peoples personal interaction skills? I mean theres so much difference in meeting people actually than meeting them in cyberspace. Although in a sense you will feel safer interaction through the net, I would say you can always hide behind anonymity and all, but what happens when one gets too engrossed in it and will prefer it to personal interaction?

That problem always exists. While some of us both socialise on web and socialise really in our day-to-day life, mostly youngsters getting addicted to chats and other forums of social discussions, do forget to socialise in real terms. This creates a lot of problems to such persons and such persons must be relieved of their net connections for some duration till they are well of with their real live friends.

I agree and I guess, youngsters are more susceptible to this and as such parents need to limit their time spent on the net
