This article brings up some interesting ideas and issues.
"In the philosophy of the internet, we are among peers, equal, without social distinction, whatever your age, gender, income of status in real life" Anthony Besson
Is the internet a way of breaking down traditional barriers in language but also in life, on the internet you can talk and interactive with anyone on there, there is nothing stopping you no physical barriers. An example of this would be the use of the informal word to address someone new. It was interesting that this had happen before in France but only in times of get struggle or revolution like the French Revolution.
This highlights some questions to me, Do we act differently when we are the on the internet? Do we feel more free to explore and push boundaries (of the norm)?
