What Are My Online Experiences?

With the bountiful amount of computers in present day, I've been able to experience most of what the Internet has to offer. I've been able to write and discuss in forums that talk about gaming or computers. Some forums have even lead to discussion groups and huge communities where people disagree with each other but have common goals. It is good to talk to users online when talking about a subject, but there are downsides to talking with someone whom you don't see their face. The person behind a computer is a stranger. Their identity is hidden until they express their real feelings and thoughts. I've met friendly strangers online, but there are hostile entities who intend to cyber-bully people within a community and oppress them into low self-esteem. I've dealt with these people before and they always give away their identity once they talk out of the blue with lines such as,"You're an 18-year-old who lives with his mom," or ,"go play something else kid." There are strangers who believe the Internet is their own territory with the unconsciousness of nor realizing who they are talking to or what they are saying.
