CITAÇÕES
Think about your Facebook page. All of us could have described our group or network of family, friends, and ac- quaintances based on our mental assessment of the people we are closest to and interact with the most. But now that net- work is visible as a set of tiny faces, avatars, and names on an electronic page that we have on our desks, carry around in our pockets, and spend a great deal of time on. We can now see and measure how much we actually interact. The sociologist’s abstract representation of our relationships has sprung to electronic life in a virtual world that is increasingly the world we actually live in. Moreover, it has never been easier to con- nect with new people or organizations. Tap, click, connect. (Slaughter 2017:44-5)

In the early 1980s, David Chaum conducted a quest for the seemingly impossible answer to a problem that many people didn’t consider a problem in the first place: how can the domain of electronic life be extended without further compromising our privacy? Or — even more daring — can we do this by actually increasing privacy? In the process he figured out how cryptography could produce an electronic version of the dollar bill. (Levy 2001:269-70)

The only solution is to accept instantaneous dissemination as a fact of electronic life. (Chrichton 1983:48)

Defined broadly, virtual reality sometimes stretches over many aspects of electronic life. Beyond computer-generated desktops, it includes the virtual persons we know through telephone or computer networks. It includes the entertainer or politician who appears on television to interact on the phone with callers. It includes virtual universities where stu- dents attend classes on line, visit virtual classrooms, and so- cialize in virtual cafeterias. (Heim 1993:110-1)
