I live in a cyber land. The only thing outsiders looking in see are a
zombie-eyed girl laying on the couch with a laptop three inches from her
face. The best way to get her attention is to break the physical
connection between human and machine. What these outsiders don’t
understand is, this Cyberland is her safe haven. Morning and evening
laptop time take her away from the real world for a couple of hours. In
other words, the internet is her hobby. While some may take up knitting,
crafting, hunting, or fishing; others find solace in social media. An
outsider sees an introvert in its natural habitat, hiding behind the
computer. Said “introvert” sees Cyberland as the opportunity to be
whoever they aspire to be. Cyberlanders are more accepting to what may
not be considered the “norm.” The community within Cyberland is not one
just anyone can understand. Magical things happen within Cyberland and
beyond – dreams and friendships galore, and outsiders do not have the
capability to see this magic. Cyberland is to Diagon Alley as Outsiders
are to Muggles. Outsiders are too blind to see the magic and accept what
is going on behind the screens of Cyberland.
That is all :)
