Internet Romance and kissing– This is Bizarre but leave it to Japanese

As an official “Otaku” I keep up with internet things. The internet in Asia has consumed many lives ( as well as in America), in fact in Korea they have set up special “deprogramming ” camps to help certain afflicted youth. Seems some people become so addicted they forget to eat or go to the bathroom and develop pressure sores on their buttocks.

The reason it affects so many including myself at times is that the internet is a perfect example of Pavlov’s Dogs Expieriments. You may recall that is when– Dr. Pavlov would ring a bell every time he fed some lab dogs food.  He then found out that he could make them salivate after a while just ringing a bell with no food given. Further and more interesting is the fact that  if he rang the bell but did  not every time he feed them the salivation response for the bell ring would even be stronger. This fact maybe why the internet may be so addictive. You may not find what you want every time you look on the internet so the desire and response to go to the Internet is even stronger. This is the same pavlov training as when he rang a bell not all the time and found that dogs response was the stronger than if he rang the bell everytime they received food. You may not find the answer and be rewarded on the first search or the romance you want on the dating site or the nice person to chat with. All of  this is intermittent so the pavolvian response is strong. Take facebook for example you do not get a message everytime you look….but the fact that you will eventually get a message or comment keeps you coming back. Strong Pavolivian Training here.

Now what prompted me to write about this was an interesting device I saw on YouTube. This thing may solve all our romance problems across the world. The Japanese have now invented a device which allows you to kiss someone across the internet. WOW think of the possibilities from here ……

My thoughts on this are pretty simple. What is this? Are we starting to all live in a virtual world where human to human contact is no longer needed?  Perhaps we are. So my worry as a Plastic Surgeon is if we no longer have to actually see each other in person then appearance may not matter so much anymore ?  If you are only meeting people virtually , or living in the internet world then the computer can take your image and project any one you want it to. It can turn a guy into a girl as far as the other side of the connection will see. So my fear is will I have a job in few years???

Well I am saying this in half jest but looks like we are heading there.
