My experience with cyberculture has been pretty moderate I think. I remember first starting to be interested in the computer when I first heard about AOL. I was excited to be able to communicate with kids from school who I didn't see outside of a classroom. It was a fun, new interesting way to be able to communicate with a different range of people. After instant messenger came myspace and facebook, and that lead to an even bigger social opening to many people. I currently have a myspace, and I do go on it occasionally, but I don't think that I go on it excessively like some people might. I like the aspect of it that you can get a chance to learn more about people by what they put into their profile, and to learn more about who they are and what they want you to know about them as a person. It in a way, takes you inside to that person and what type of personality they have, their interests, favorite music, movies, and t.v. shows.
Cyberculture has affected me positively. It is positive in the fact that I get to talk to people who I have not seen because they moved away, or we went on to different schools. It also gives me a chance to meet new people socially, and it gives everyone the ability to learn about one another.

Well, you see I was able to locate your blog... :-)
I don't use my Myspace as often as I use my Facebook. You may have heard that Facebook is geared more toward the college set than Myspace is. It's true. And guess what? The majority of the people I interact with in real life are on Facebook, thus the majority of my time online is on Facebook. There's a weird instance of real life affecting virtual life.
