Using judgmental caution with Daisley

The course that Daisley is trying to stay seems to be un proportional to her initial argument of playfulness and gamelike qualities exhibited from computer conferencing formats. What is looked into as a way for Daisley to pick out these characteristics are in actuality the approved format for communication among a younger generation. Although the ages aren’t apparent it’s seen throughout the examples the usage of generational slang. Regardless of this obvious verity, it seems that the author uses too much analytical exaggeration. Especially in the beginning text:
Kori (message 3): I thnik that smoking should be restricted to reastricted areas. What is second hand smoke causes a health risk to certain people for example pregnant women. THe
should be able to stand clear of anything to thief haelth.
The obvious spelling and grammar errors are evident, but the message is still present (yet distorted among the numerous errors). What is used as a tool for communication, computer conferencing is still a valuable tool to see the “writing on the wall.”
Further, Daisley discusses “serious debate” and how it seems to escalate into a bunch of nonsense along with some minor bigotry. I agree when she states, “We tend to forget, however, that boundaries are not always fortress walls erected by others to keep us out but are sometimes barriers that we ourselves erect in order to keep others at bay.” (Daisley) She simply forces me to contradict my previous statement and agree with the fact that although computer conferencing conversation is constructive, the optimist in all of us must use caution before coming to a complete conclusion.
