How is the nature of connection between people online different from “traditional” offline connections? How, really, do they differ?

I’m hoping to tease out some real, perceived, and possibly false differences between internet connections and traditional connections between people, for a project as part of the Technology & Society course I’m taking. I’m not meaning TCP/IP connections, or ethernet, but how people are able to connect, interact, communicate, engage, etc… online as opposed to offline.

Any thoughts?

Offline. No phone. No internet. No Flickr. No RSS. I'll have to settle for sun, sand, and mai tais. I'm going as far as disabling comments on my blog while I'm away, because I don't want to have to even think about punting spam before Google indexes it. There shall be no spam while I'm on vacation.

I'll see you on the 21st! I'm sure I'll have a couple photos to post to Flickr. Maybe even an entire set or two.

The family will be hiding out in a lakeside cabin with no phones or internet. Although apparently there’s wifi nearby. Dangit. I’ll have to bring the Powerbook to offload photos from the camera, so will have to fight the urge to check in. See you in a week, internets!
