Generation C - flirty?

Interesting blog post that’s kind of asking the question, do Gen C people have different personas for different environments?

“Tom says that we live in Generation-C, Generation Communication. He says that these days alot of communication happens over text messages, msn, and myspace. He said to me that people flirt over text messages even though it may not be what they will say in person its just showing you that they like you.”

Is what Tom says true? Do Gen C’ers act differently by TXT or IM than they would in person? And if so, is that dishonest, or just different?

I reckon we all act differently in writing than in person, and I don’t think it’s dishonest, any more than acting is dishonest. Some actors act to escape, and for them it’s dishonest because they’re not being themselves. Others act to develop their full potential. Now everyone gets to act - it’s up to us how we do it.
