What audience do you think has this perception of the Internet? I agree if it is present the metaphor would be valid but i wonder what audience has it. M On 9/7/06, Rosanna Tarsiero <rosanna@gionnethics.com> wrote:
Reid,
You asked: "Are you saying that the metaphor of a "room" carries with it the illusion of privacy?"
Indeed! The metaphor of a room carries with it the presence of "walls" of separation between the room and the outside.
And like they say in the Alcoholic Anonymous it works because "what is said here stays here" (where here=room).
