Like you have the silent feeling from a flat way of communication ? I feel completely invisible on the internet, And then I rely on a silent feeling from what it is that half the time I don't even know what it is I am communicating. I never know if the person read it, or saw it, I never know what or how they are going to respond, And I never understand tech at all. I can be as smart as with anything, Which I don't think I am with anything, And it all just feels like a silent feeling. I am completely confused with technology an d don't understand any of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are typing words on a computer to another person on their computer. Having physically never seen the person. So perhaps we are invisible to others on the computer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like you, I don't know how many people read any of my posts, if any. All I see is the number of views. The thing is, is that you don't see anyone on the other end nodding their head in agreement or shaking it no in disagreement. All we get is a typed-out response and message. That's it. But I still like the fact that I can communicate with others through the internet. And writing things down and conveying thoughts through writing has its advantages for both the writer and reader. For example, how much of this post would you remember if you and I were talking face to face--if I were just speaking and you were listening? How much? But if you write something down and convey it to this board, then I and all have something that anyone can go back to and reread and maybe ask for clarification about what you are talking about. So, yeah, in a way there is this certain silence, especially when you come back here and see that no has posted anything at this forum for several hours or maybe even a day or two. Then the forum feels like a ghost-town. And what do ghost-towns sound like in western movies? You hear the wind howling and maybe those balls of grass or whatever rolling across deserted streets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Honestly I have come to find out I like the ghost town feeling. I am just confused on the internet. I don't pick up on people's cues and half the time I am ruminating or rapid cycling. It's so confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
