proofread

Hi there,
can you proofread this sentence?

As online possibilities grow, the scope for harm also increases. Virtual bonds will further alienate humans physically from each other.

Thanks

Grammatically it looks fine but you could change it slightly to "further physically alienate..."

What do you mean by "virtual bonds"?

Hi there,

I don't understand what 'virtual bonds' is either. I think the writer wanted to mean the connection between people through internet but the bonds are not real ones, but virtual (through internet). Am I correct? OR any words to replace 'virtual bonds'?

thanks
pete

That makes sense and is probably a good choice of words. Virtual is a common word for things on the internet like virtual reality. It looks real but it's not.
