With the advance of computers and online networks, especially Internet, new dimension of human experience is rapidly opening up. The experience created by computers and computer networks in many ways can be understood as psychological “space” or “place”. Then users power up their computers, launch programs, write e-mails or doing something like that, they feel, consciously or unconsciously, that they are entering “place” or “space” filled with a wide array of meanings and purposes. Also browsing can be described as “traveling” or “going someplace”.On the even deeper psychological level users often describe how their computer is an extension of their minds and personality, a space that reflects their tastes, attitudes and interests. When users read e-mails, newsgroup or chat messages some people feel as if their mind is merged or blended with that of the other.
Internet is wide open for all sorts of fantasies. People use this psychological space to simply went or act out their fantasies, frustrations, anxieties and desires that fuel those fantasies.
