Leading a Double Life

In response to Irene Sege's "Leading a Double Life", I think it is abosolutely bizarre that people like to think they are something else on a digital aspect. Even though they put their interests and everything that relates to them into these people, I feel that it is just a "safety" blanket for living in the real world. There was an episode of True Life on MTV about how people that are uncomfortable with themsevles use these sites to portray themselves as something else. I think that instead of hours on end on the computer pretending to be someone, people should use their social skills and own selves in the real world to meet people physically, not digitally. It helps them in the long run, and this goes to show that technology is changing teens and the way they interact and socialize with the rest of the world.
