Before proceeding onto my research of online identities and\u00a0privacy,\u00a0I\u00a0wasn’t sure of what the actual pros and cons were. The only thing I could think of were childish scandals of fake Facebook profiles which were\u00a0the hot topic during secondary school. During the time, a friend of mine unknowingly had another Facebook account. Could you imagine! Nonetheless, upon research I realised that there is a larger scope on the topic of online identities and can be taken at many different angles. I was aware of this mostly when reading my colleagues\u2019 posts. In my post, I mostly referenced online identities by means of personal profiles versus professional profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn) and their impacts, however after reading Andrew Ghiacy<\/a>\u2019s post, I learnt more interesting takes on online identities. I learnt that through E-commerce, we practically create an identity for ourselves. I now have many more identities than I knew of i.e. Asos, EBay etc. Nonetheless, after outlining personal versus professional profiles, we could perhaps refer to this additional online identity as a leisure profile. Anyone agree?<\/p>\n

My goal for future blog posts mentioned in my Topic 1- Reflective\u00a0Summary<\/a> was to aim to branch out\u00a0on\u00a0my research. I feel as though I did achieve this through learning about online identities and the pros and cons associated. Although I gained an understanding on how I interact and present myself online I do I wish I touched upon more social cons i.e. cyberbullying, as this is something that I\u2019m sure many people have experienced. An article published last year states that \u2018Cyberbullying is on a rise\u2019- which I could have explored further. I will therefore aim to find research on current or even previous news to help me with arguments for future posts. Other than that, this was a very interesting topic!<\/p>\n
