1. Yes, my online
identity is an “idealized version” of myself. On these social networking
websites I chose how the outside world perceives me. I chose what I post on
these websites. I post things on these websites that make me look beautiful and
smart. Although, I am beautiful and smart I tend to forget about my flaws in
real life outside of the computer screen.
2. We tend to think
about what they post on social networking websites. People are becoming more
conscious to what is right and wrong. We then will start to use these skills in
everyday life. Hopefully, one day the will become their ideal person and
achieve a self-fulfilling prophecy.
3. Using these social
networking websites is kind of like we are putting on a performance to the
outside world. I personally, monitor what I put on social networking websites
like an actor. I don’t put horrible pictures of myself on websites. In reality,
I am not always perfect looking. I also tend to remember my audience when
posting thing on these websites. I have lot of family and my mother’s friends
on these websites. I don’t want to post anything I wouldn’t care about my
mother knowing.
4. Yes, I do think that
profiles are this generation’s answer to voyeurism and exhibitionism. There are
some social networking websites that let people post explicit things. Twitter
is an example of a websites that doesn’t monitor the explicit nature of what is
posted. A person can go to these websites, which is better than porn sites. Or
a person may like to receive attention from posting such explicit things. These
types of websites allow what both types of people are looking for.
