I think the wired world is real it is an alternative form of expression now. Our interactions happen in a forum that is not tangible but very real. The only difference is that it is not syncronized. Phone calls, f2f conversations, meetings are syncronized, emails, fourms like this other tools too online happen when we want them to at our convienience. That doesnt mean this world disappears when we turn off the computer. In fact just like the real world if we arent here this one keeps going and it wont wait for us :).

but what I\'m wondering about is... is it \'virtual\'? or is it real?

like even in terms of relationships on facebook... is hugging  someone on facebook virtual? or can it be considered real?

and things even get more crazy on second life...

you can do what ever you want there... invite people to see your art installation... your latest architectural design or shop with you...

for me is a bit confusing...

Some of the internet experiences are like that but with social networking sites like this one and facebook, they get into the non-virtual conversations of people arround me on daily bases. Also with smart phones around you can do so much as well.
