The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
- Esther Dyson

Alcohol makes a good metaphor for this one. Another is moving or starting a new job, in that you can create a "new" or "newer" persona. ;)
