"As discussed earlier, receiving no reply from an e-mail companion makes a person wonder. Did I say something wrong? Am I being rejected? Did something bad happen to him? Yet another feature of the ambiguity of cyberspace, this black hole experience tends draws out one's anxieties and insecurities."
The above quote was from John Suler's The Psychology of Cyberspace (http://www-usr.rider.edu) and brings to light one of the bad things that happens when communicating in cyberspace. I truely think we have all had this experience at one point or another. Adding to the quote we sometimes think "did my communication even get there"? When communicating with someone else, we need to be sure that we respond in a timely manner so the person on the other end doesn't feel like the quote.
