BilliyBombers -
its been a while since ive sat down wif frnds for a meal like this... its great, food for celebration of our release frm questionable ethics and wavering design aspirations... atleast for now...
also the stoopid lady at the photo dev shop forgot to dev my pics, plus she was mighty rude abt it (grits teeth), guess the new magazine's only gonna come in next week...
the pixelworth facade.
frm icqs to email to blogs. these are the pixelworth facades.
the pixelworth facade grants the user a proxy. wif which on can fashion an identy one most prefers of him/herself. also reaction time here is maximised giving the user time to think twice b4 giving an ans that might cause him/her to sound stoopid. along wif these perks the pixelworth facade is also subject to perception. since and online conversation does not contain body language and facial gestures, most text is left mainly informational. although smileys hav tried to replace such expressions, i believe they are v.limited and are less effective when it comes to relaying feelings. ofcoures one cld use flowery language to enhance a desired mood but even shakesphere cldnt reside solely in books.
personally, this character stand in has become a large part of my life. conversations online differ frm face to face, in that i can hide behind this facade. concequences of wat i say seem to matter less and reactions to wat is said are also less discriminating.
whilst the pixelworth facade fashions a comfort zone for one to be more expressive in his/her ideas, it also gives rise to lies, con-techinques and other sorts of deceptions - since theres is no sure way of authentication. i can only hope that pple wld wise up and noe the person behind the pixelworth facade b4 trusting such a proxy.
now uve seen my mind... or hav u?
