When a object is recreated digitally to be saved forever, which is the real object? The one that is tangible or what will exist forever? What's the "real" object?
When you interact with people in a virtual world and spend time creating your "Second Life" and is your primary focus, which life is real?
When you can speak and see some one through a computer screen, crossing the boundaries of time zones and the costs of telephone calls, where you can conveniently catch up while doing other things - is it more efficient than actual conversation, where both parties are present? Laughter can bring us together through skype, but does it really?
In the future, what will real experience be, what happens through cloud computing and digital technologies or real life? Or is it?
What is true communication? Interpersonal or viral? Will social media replace "true communication?"
What about both?
The use of social media activities online in a "virtual world" will enhance the "real" one.
Internet technologies enhance our relationships in the "real world" and increase communication and contact.
Technology - a help, not hindrance
