Guest and Member
- Such dichotomy as "guest and member" holds for the way of taking stance to the Internet.
- "Guest" is the guest of the "Internet business", in a broad sense.
- The relation between the Internet business and the guest is: "You make and I eat" -- Internet is "TV".
- "Member" is the member of the Internet-as-a-society/community.
- Internet is a society/community.
- In general, "Give and Take" is a rule of living in a society/community.
To practice "Give and Take" is a condition of being a member of a society/community.
- In this case, there is no "You make and I eat". -- Internet is not "TV".
- Taking while rejecting giving is regarded as a lack of manner/sociality.
- In order to be a member of a society, whatever it may be, it is required for us to be determined and to be strong in some degree.
- You know, to open a homepage is to become a member of the Internet-as-a-society/community.
