Is the internet primarily about goofing off and acting inapropriately?
Yes; people just want to have fun, not act seriously.

Internet is a way to communicate. Thought, due to it's... rather anymouse nature, people dare to do stuff they wouldn't normally do.

It's up to the people themself how to use a big network like Internet. One thing is sure, and that's the society have been changing and is still transforming becuse of the internet. And Internet brings people all over the world together, for twenty years ago it was quite rare for anyone here to have contact with people at the other side of the atlantic every day.


Well said. Sites such as Wikipedia show that, even in an atmosphere where anyone can do anything, productive and knowledgeable works can be produced. There might be page-blankouts and graffiti now and then, just as any forum is sure to experience it's share of spam and trolling, but all in all, those who rise above it can enjoy themselves just the same.

Exactly. People should also see the limits they would see IRL though. Shame it's harder here, with no voice expression, or facial expression.
