Cyberpunks. Thats a name that carries multiple meanings. In this case i refer to our class. I use the johnny mnemonic style cyberpunk. A person living in a world that runs rampant with technology. This monday we had a class online. Despite technological limitations, our free flowing conversation was self-moderated rather effectively.
We were able to tell what was going on by using our prior experience with debate and conversation to insert emotion and innuendo to each others "speech". We were able to tell who was talking to who and even gander a guess at what the response would be. If this were not the case, we would have had a significantly less meaningful conversation. So what happens when these chat rooms start to be used more commonly? What if the class started there, would we be able to even learn those mannerisms, or would our conversations be doomed to stale flatlining question and answer session?

I think that, like in IM conversations, we would eventually develop ways to see subtle nuances of conversation.
