Because any technology we use functions as an extension of our acting selves, we have to comprehend the technology of cyberspace in terms of persons extending themselves to one another, an idea that can be called ‘the personalization principle.’ It is this principle that makes us consciously aware that our interacting with websites, blogs, videos, and other online endeavors is a personal encounter with another. Without this understanding, it is too easy for us to view the persons whom we encounter in cyberspace as merely a means to our own ends without responding to them properly through love.
