All but on one aspect, physical contact. It is the whole interaction of all your senses, emotions, and thoughts that make or break a relationship. There can be pieces missing like sight, hearing, or the spoken word, the other senses will compensate. Remove all the senses and you have a breakdown in the interaction emotionally and intellectually. One can be nothing more than an associate through the Internet if one has never had the physical contact. A person can delude themselves into believing that their is a solid connection but it will not last if there is no cement to hold it together. It's like having a favorite t.v. show canceled. Your gonna miss it but another will soon fill the time slot. Internet interaction is valid in that it lays a foundation for human social interaction, but with out the physical contact; touch, scent, and taste there is nothing to bind it solidly.

No, this is a one way medium, with actual interaction, it opens up all aspects, such as body language, vocal nuances, etc, that bring a whole different realm to socializing. This online stuff as the main social interaction will leave people socially unfit, so get up and get out, at least once a month, lol!
See? If I was in person you would know how to take that comment, but now you are puzzled, right?

It would constitute to social interaction but there is a little anonimity at first however as the interaction and exchange of ideas deepen it becomes more intimate. Especially with webcams and file sharing.
It is a very valid social interaction dictated by technology and the desire to reach-out and touch someone which is human nature...
hope it helps

Not totally, but it sure is less messy and more convenient.
This site seems (so far) to be a setup where you can actually have a real meeting of the minds which is often almost impossible to achieve in face to face interaction. So many other variables interfere.

Good morning ..gee your up early or late depending where you are?? I think this is a great way of social interaction. I meet so many people like yourself on here and communicate with all of you and its very nice.

No, people can hide a lot about themselves on the net. Human interaction is more rewarding, you see the person, can get honest reactions, see facial expressions.

I think they both have their upsides and downsides, but require different skill sets.
Human social interaction is probably more valid, but also more challenging.

Yes I would say so and I think it is alot safer too although it is probably not the most healthiest as you are stuck indoors staring at a screen.

u can't read body language on internet as well (even with web cam) and you dont get the sounds and smells and then communication is different...you can reach more people on internet but it isnt as personal...
