Chapter 4
I really liked how this Chapter focused on relationships, trust that started online and the development of trust. The risk part interested me, as well as the conversation in class. The risk when individuals follow advice online that could possibly be false. I think it is important fow individuals who build relationships soley online to focus on the risk factors. When we are meeting someone for the first time online, we need to be aware of the "nobody knows you're a dog" saying, and also the knowledge being given. I enjoyed these trust chapters because it didn't "bash" the internet and online dating, it only set out awareness. I myself can be totally naive to certain issues online, and knowing if it is truth or just one's opinion....

I do agree that this was a well written chapter that didn't focus on the negative side of the internet. As for the dog comment, it's important to remember that when communicating online you really don't know who you're dealing with. So it's important to always remember that you are taking a risk with someone you absolutely don't know. This leads to think of how is it that we trust people online when at times we can't even trust the people we know in our daily lives. I just don't understand how people can just drop their trustworthy shield and expose themselves to strangers
