Yes I think you are right. I think that Internet is worse since; when
you watch TV you sit passively and your tv-friends come to you when you
are dealing with internet you go actively to explore vast Cyber-Space and
meet actively your Cyber-Friends - like I'm doing now. So it is more
suggestive. But I'm waiting eagerly Virtual-Internet-Reality!

Peace.
