"why*do* you (and others) feel this strong desire to explore EVERY possible internet networking website available? Why are you driven to advertise your life, appearance,your knowledge, your skills, and your creations to the world? Sites like MySpace attract people who self-absorbed . People think that they are interesting and are positive the world wants to know it."

So insightful! You said what I could not find words to say. At the same time bringing forth the understanding to me that possibly most people don't know they are letting their ego consume them. People are driven from within by their egos without knowledge of what drives them. In a way at this time this is a helpful fact. It is helping others who need the help to find themselves. There are people out in cyberspace who are expressing themselves in ways they were never able to before and people like Torley (full of energy and intelligence) are spreading the news "IT IS OK TO BE YOURSELF"

I am elderly 76 years old. I have been busy living a repressed inner life. With my computer I am able to do what my failing body is trying to prevent. 'ENJOY'

Perhaps the need to find every outlet on the internet serves a purpose to spread the word. 'IT'S OK TO CARE.'

Again, from what I have seen, I enjoy your videos and I like your personality so I am not insulting you as a person. I just disagree with the value of it all. I think immersing ourselves into MANY websites is unhealthy in the big picture.

When I am elderly, I doubt that I will reflect back and wish I had spent MORE time on a computer. I will wish that I had spent more time eating a cool crisp watermelon on a hot summer day among friends at a lake…rather than trying to replicate this event virtually.

Please enlighten me on the value of being connected to many social websites?
