Спереводом текста ) in recent times, the english have found a new and perfect excuse to stay at home, pull the imaginary drawbridge and avoid the up traumas of face-to-face social interaction: the internet, e-mail, chatrooms, surfing, messaging the whole thing could have been invented for the insular, socially handicapped, word-loving english. in cyberspace, we in our element: a world are of disembodied words. no need to worry about what to wear, whether to make eye contact, whether to shake hands or kiss cheeks or just smile. no awkward pauses or embarrassing starts no need to fill uncomfortable silences with weather-speak no polite procrastinating or tea-making or other displacement activity no need for the usual prolonged goodbyes. nothing physical, no actual corporeal human beings to deal with at all. just written words. our favourite thing.
