Our Digital Selves and Us reflection

While watching the Our Digital Selves and Us the speaker asked us to think about the following questions: Is there a clear demarcation between who you are online and elsewhere? What parts of you are people missing out on if they do not interact with the online you? Why (or why not) should you manage your own personal cyber infrastructure? What does this mean to you? Who are we in this space where the online world is not something distinctly separate? To start with the first question, the answer is no. I really don't think there is much of a change or difference between who i am online and who i am in real life. I really try to be myself online, and i don't act any different. It helps because i am friends online with people i know in real life, so i don't have to change or be any different with them. For the second question, i don't really think people are missing a huge part of me if they don't interact with me online. I like talking to people and getting to know them in person. Though, the pictures i post online kind of allow people to know what i do at home and where i go on day to day basis. The pictures can kind of help people know me better because it allows them to see who i am when i'm not at school. For the third question, yes, i think it's important to manage your cyberinfrastructure online. It's good to keep up with your online profiles. For the final question, in the cyber world, we are still ourselves. We should still be the same person we are in real life, because people trust other people, and it's not right to not be honest and lie about who you are online. Overall, even though we have lots of ourselves online, we should still be who we are.
