Virtual and proud of it

GPC discusses a Computerworld article about "Generation V" - people who live much of their lives online:

... When I read or hear people criticizing virtual contacts, communities, connections, relationships, etc. I always think that they're the ones missing out. Online communities and just as rich - if not richer - that their real world analogs. They are populated by a far more diverse range of people and interests than you come across in the real world. There’s only one GPC wandering around in physical space but there are several versions and variations of me active online. And truly, I think that is a good thing.
