Cyber Culture
I use the internet to check my emails, instant message, play games online, and just to surf to read up on what’s going on in the world today. By engaging in these activities is has introduced me to the cyber world and the different opportunities that are available through the internet. I don’t go into chat rooms like I use to because of the things that have occurred that were associated with chat rooms. I don’t buy anything online I find what I’m looking for and the price for it and I go to the store to buy it. I don’t feel comfortable giving out my personal financial information online because of the hackers and the scammers that are on the net. I use facebook as a way to keep in touch with my friends and family to find out how they’ve been and what they have been up to. In some ways I feel as though I’m not in a particular cyber culture group because I don’t really participate in anything. I used to hang out in chat rooms and everything that’s associated with it back when I was in high school but I don’t really see a need to do that any more. Since I have changed my focus and priorities towards my family and school I don’t really have the time to go into different chat rooms and sit there and chat for hours. My experience with the cyber world has been a positive on and I don’t really seeing anything happening to change that.

I do not use chat rooms either. I never did i see how u could associate them with some thing not so good.
I think that as time goes by we realize what is more important in life..Keeping in touch is very important. Even though cybersocieties are associated with negative aspects most of the time, i apprieciate that I can keep in touch with people i miss. besides, if your out to do negative things then you do those things. if you want to do the right things then thats what you do!
I totally understand what you mean by your statement. I really don't see the extreme need for it. Its nice to see other people sharing my same feelings towards the matter.
I use the internet for keeping in touch with family and friends too. It's really easy that way. I don't chat anymore either cause it's not important to me either anymore. I don't blame you for not shopping online! I don't even want to imagine how bad it would be if someone got ahold of your personal information. It's scarey!
i dont go into chat rooms either. to me that's a way of meeting people but you never know who you're going to meet. the cyber world can be a very scary and dangerous place. if only others could see it the same way you know.
I stay out of chat rooms too. I don't have any reason to go in one. I do however buy stuff online occasionally. I feel that it is easier for me to find what i'm looking for on the internet instead of going store to store.
It sounds like you have a broad spectrum associated with cyber culture and the effects it can have on different individuals. I agree with many of your choices such as being weary as to where you enter your financial information and I can appreciate the fact that you do not have the time to sit and chat online!
