I'm definitely a Visitor!

Dr. White's video, "Visitors and Residents" was very intriguing.  For me, it provided a description of those who relish the internet as a opportunity for networking, social interaction -- as a communal space.  And, as an alternative, provided a description of the web as a tool box, which you search, then leave, maintaining your privacy and autonomy.  I am definitely a "Visitor" and on the pronounced end of that continuum, whether it be because of age, learning style, or lack of experience and knowledge of the internet.  A space somewhere in the middle between Visitor and Resident is my goal, although it feels uncomfortable to be totally visible and social and completely use the web as a home space.
