In the reading I would have to completely agree to the fact that the internet sped up the way people live and also affects the way people live. As technology sped up so did our way of life. We become so involved with our cyber lives that it transfers over into our real life. Since the internet is fast, we expect that aspects of our real life should be fast. Cyber life can have an enormous impact on the way people live; in fact it may even take over some people real lives. For example, the people that are addicted to video games have sometimes completely abandoned their real life just to focus on their gaming and cyber life. Another example would be of people so into their computers that they never leave their house because they have lost all forms of social interaction. The only communication that they have with other people would be only through cyber space. Now that video games are becoming more complex people are able to customize and almost create people in their own images making it easier to relate to the game. They are even some social networks that allow people to create avatars. Unfortunately, this might also make is easier for people to lose grip on their real lives and become completely indulged in their cyber ones.
