第76章 Marriage and Family 家庭两性(8)

However, all novice chat users are mesmerized to some degree by the extreme anonymity and fantasy potential the Internet provides。 Often, the user eventually realizes the sensitivity needed to interact with others—a transition is made from relating to the computer to relating to other people online。 Often, this transition is coupled with an event that brings about this reality—such as “falling in love” with a fantasy and dealing with the reality that follows, meeting a chat partner face to face, or realizing that careless actions have hurt another person。
