Ok...how many outcasts do we have out there?
Come on raise your hands you know you are *grin*
I don't think that surveys like this take into account that there are a lot of internet junkies that would not be doing anything else with thier time if they did not have the internet.
I know that for me it has actually helped build my self esteem and get me to talk to people in the 'real' world more. In my area I do not find many people that I can relate to. On the internet I really don't have to search that far. Ezines, message boards, ICQ....etc.
For younger people this is extremely important for building a good self image. Nerds, outcasts, goths, punks.....we all can find others like us.
Isn't that more valuable than sitting in front of the television with people that you love dearly, but will never be able to provide that peer acceptence that is so important to us as human beings?
