"Death" means that we cannot continue to exist for ever, that we shall, one day, loose the possibility of being. For this reason, the fact that we are mortal beings is very significant for our mode of being itself. However, the "death" in the Internet World seems not to have the same importance for Internet users. Because an Internet ID may be registered anytime and many times again, thus the situation is different here.
In Martin Heidegger¡¦s Sein und Zeit the notion of ¡§Sein zum Tode" pinpoints a very important structure of Dasein. Yet if there is no real death in the Internet world, then may we possibly get rid of the very fundamental situation of "Sein zum Tode"? After all, does ¡§death¡¨ in the Internet World contradict the existential structure of "Sein zum Tode", or does this phenomenon just prove our "Sein zum Tode" in another way? This is the main question this essay wants to cope with.
