CYBERSPACE

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-18 7:01

Cyberspace, /prawg/. Cyberspace with an emphasis on space. Is it coming, or was it just Gibson's cluelessness talking? On the one hand, VR is the FUTURE. On the other hand, what does navigating a 3d world have to offer us in terms of communication? On the gripping hand, Second Life.

Place your bets on the future of the net here.

I hate Second Life. But then I also hate chat programs and emails.

Hey, I also hate Second Life and chat, but I like e-mails. Actually, it's the only form of on-line communication I accept.

Well, to be honest, the same goes for me - but what annoys me about email is that it always takes me at least half an hour to write even a simple reply, always rephrasing stuff and making it clearer, when it'd taken 5 minutes to explain IRL.

See >>6. I like anonymous discussion since there's not the e-penis thing always present on IRC & forums, and I get lots of useful stuff (mostly fappan gaems from /jp/). Chatting is just a way to spend 2 hours talking about the weather.

You need to learn Lojban.

Well, the thing that drives me insane about chats is the txt tlk. It's hard to find anyone who doesn't use it at all, and even if you do, there's that pressure that makes you send the message before spell-checking it, because you don't want to keep the other guy waiting for the reply.

Then there's an issue of the other conversant speaking, or at least understanding, Lojban... I happen to be in luck by knowing two Lojban-speakers personally, but besides that, it's pretty useless if nobody can understand you.

I haven't met anybody in person that speaks Lojban. I've been learning Lojban for one week now. I can tell you that my thoughts are much clearer now that I think in Lojban. My English communication skill has greatly improved as a direct result in learning Lojban.

You seem to have a problem in communicating, mistaking simple misspelling for a communication flaw.

"in" where only "of" would make sense is a simple misspelling? perhaps you need to go back to nursery school and learn what the word "spelling" means. come back when you can communicate at at least a kindergarten level.

That wasn't funny but I laughed anyway.

Nah, only joking, I didn't laugh at all. That's lame.

We could go there together, so you can take some capitalisation lessons.

What is considered a ``misspelling'' when typing? The act of pressing the wrong keys, right? Most often is is caused by some minor mishap. He has pressed `i' and `n' instead of `o' and `f'. We can only guess why, but I, knowing that I sometimes do things like that, assume that he was thinking of something else and the interfering thoughts made him type ``in''.
Then there's a possibility of him typing like this because of sheer ignorance -- then I scorn him as well, yet only for reason stated in >>15.

Furthermore, attacking my communication level is groundless -- you understood my message perfectly and I am strongly inclined to think that nobody else would have any problems comprehending it.

I hate to agree with bitchfag, but I think you're mistaking mispelling for typo.

It doesn't seem to me that most people type especially fast. I don't do chat rooms (on the assumption that they're full of idiots), but I generally out-type people in IMs, even with their sloppy Internet dialect. Take some lessons?

Even thought it was a typo, not misspelling, my point stands: occasional mistakes does not mean that someone cannot communicate.

Save for Christopher, some guy and me knowing the basics and learning, nobody knows Lojban here.

I suggest that we make Lojban the official language of /prog/. Have you read your The COMPLETE Lojban Language (a Logical Language Group Publication) today?
