Thoughts on 253

"In cyberspace, people become places."

 This line on the homepage of 253's website is one that I feel is extremely accurate. It is simple enough, but I feel like it's overall message is very profound. 

When we form relationships with people in person, we don't consider their location as much as we do when we begin to form a connection with people who may not be as accessible to us. When you begin to converse with and form relationships with people in different places around the country or around the globe, you begin to associate the place they are from with the identity of that person much more than you do with people you've met and formed a relationship with in person. When you've formed a connection with someone in cyberspace, from that point on you will associate that place with that person. The person you've met has become that place to you.
