For me, it seems that my reoccuring theme is identity. I am constantly wondering how identity is defined and determined through the internet, and how one's online personality is different from one's real life personality, or if it is indeed different. In my second post, I also talk about isolation and I wonder how one's online personality can affect their real personalities. Does talking online and playing games online affect their RL personalities. Could talking online everyday make a person more confident in RL because of the "friends" and experiences that each person has, and does that mean his or her personality has changed?
I guess one of the questions that I have, which actually arouse in my last blog, was how "I've just started to wonder where the line is between one's online personalities and one's real life personality." Is it true that "you are what you pretend to be"? I am also curious, like I said in my previous blog, if we are just characters, acting out a role in our online games, or do these different personalities actually exist and extend over to our RL's?
Kind of a lot of questions, but hopefully I will find out some answers this semester :)
