Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
Lol, you know why I like internet conversations? Because I live in the middle of nowhere! Seriously, I don't have my drivers licence yet, so my social contact is limited to my immediate family, my (very few) friends at school, and the very occaisional party my parents let me go to. Sure, chats and emails are usually void of emotion, and all the things that make life personal and interesting. But no one can deny their usefullness. Can't find someone, send them an email. Stuff like that. And I don't know about you, but I talk the exact same on chats and emails as I do in everyday, personal conversations. I don't make up a veneer to make people think I'm someone I'm not. I know who I am, and the people I talk to know what I'm like. I only talk to people who know me in person. It keeps things real. But that's just my opinion.

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
lol, your so true R13, and i agree with you there, i was just a bit upset about the overuse of those tools, i'm reviewing my own use of them... the results made me think, and post this post. bulletin' Boards are okay in my book, as long as they're used for information exchange purposes as opposed to chat/email replacements as ive seen in some places

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
Emoticons quite clearly help to convey emotion...   |

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
So? The meaning can nearly always be infered from the context. It takes little time to figure out how a person uses smileys that you are chatting with.

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
yes, but it doesn't have the emotional connections of a tone of voice. it's learned.
