There are some obvious anxiety-creating situations in our day, such as wars, political and economical confusions, disasters, but also a less obvious but more deeper source of anxiety is the new technologies, more specifically the Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). Technology is beginning to mediate our social relationships, our self-identities and our social life. The position of communities and the self in CMC is showing the very character of anxiety.
