Is on-line even a real place?

For some people being on-line is the reality they want to be in. When they are on-line the world is at their fingertips and at their control, they can be who they want to be.If they are moderators in a chat room, they are the president for life , in that room they decide who can stay and who leaves, they can lead the conversation to where they want to go.On-line is their social community, the place where they meet their cyber friends with their cyber handles. On-line is a place that cannot be touched but is a place where people can escaped to.
