Online Social networking has changed, revolutionized the way in which we interact as humans, as anybody can see. Many think that this is in large part cause by the 1. the anonymity available on the internet, and 2. the distantness / detachment inherent in online communication.
Protected by anonymity, people can behave differently. They can express ideas that don't truly epitomize their average feelings and attitude. They also become more detached. Not having to see someone face-to-face, and being able to disconnect in an instant? Kinda makes it easy. And a lack of spacial/social context, along with a lack of body language, creates miscommunication.
