How Community and Deviance on LambdaMOO and Lord Graham's Demesne
can prepare us for the Future of Computer Mediated Communication in
Cyberspace
This paper has a pretentious but self explanatory title. I wrote this in
December, 1994, shortly after media interested in the Internet was piqued.
I really failed to anticipate how dramatic changes in the near future were
going to be, but in this paper I took a fairly weak stab at it. I put my
social scientist hat on and try to make the point that when people use
computer mediated communication they will still act the same no matter how
sophisticated the technology.
