Observation

Doing my research paper on digital technology, I noticed that often easy access to the Internet, anonymity, and the wide range of social interaction websites cause huge disruption to people relationships. I read a lot of articles that took up an issue of breaking marriages because of internet activities. Many married individuals, who are involved in online infidelity, try to meet needs that are not being met within their marriages. In addition, they are drawn away from their everyday lives and focused on imaginary world. The cyber unfaithfulness is a form of emotional infidelity that lets users be more expressive but not necessarily honest. Psychologist claim that the Internet is
“The biggest threat marriage has ever faced. Characterized by deep emotional closeness, the secret, sexually charged (but unconsummated) friendships at issue build almost imperceptibly until they surpass in importance the relationship with a spouse. Emotional involvement outside of marriage has always been intoxicating, as fictional heroines such as Anna Karenina and Emma Bovary attest. But in the age of the Internet … these relationships have become far more accessible than ever before"
Thus, my married friends think twice before you join a chat room.
