There are many other sites on the internet that combine these technologies and creative thinking that "hyper-artists" use to express themselves to the world. Essentially, people utilize the net to express anything in any sort of combinations with new technology, from picture editing to impressionistic images and sites to present their views, beliefs, and ideals to the global community.</p> <p>Not only do people use websites to express themselves on the world wide web, but they also employ MUDs, online art galleries, literary pages, and various other forms of the media to present themselves. Whenever they get a chance, people try to create an identity for themselves. Sometimes they try to create a completely original identity by making a character up, but most of the time people just present themselves "as is" in hopes to network and identify with other people.</p> <p align="center"><img src="_themes/capsules/capsepa.gif" width="600" height="10"></p> <p align="center">Perhaps, before we continue, you would like to see my self-expression on the internet, yes?</p> <p align="center"><a href="index.htm" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="images/echoslit.gif" width="460" height="55"></a></p> <p align="center">Or maybe you would like to express yourself?
