The act of forgetting oneself allows users to reconstruct themselves through electronic space. Now is the time to construct cyborg identities. B. Emerging from the VR self, those disempowered by technology must gain access to the new social spaces, not as observers but as creators. It should be noted that every time I have used the words VR , they have replaced Ito s terminology of MUDs. I believe that she used MUDs as an example of VR rather than saying only in MUDs can you have this interaction.
Interpersonal communication is occurs when two or more people interact through communication.
Virtual Reality allows people to interact without all of the rules and pressures that appear in face to face interaction. This is not to say that it does not occur, just that it has the potential to not occur. In the article Ito discussed many different examples of how VR lends itself to interpersonal communication such as for friendship, a new sense of self, and through acceptance. This can be seen through how the friendship and communication begin. Neither person can talk over the other, neither can necessarily ignore what the other is saying.
