As Alice Water said, \u201cThe decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way\u201d [1]- This also implies with the decision of having more than one online identity. Some argue it does matter while others objects. But is there a perfect right answer?<\/p>\n<p>From some of my readings, research and findings, I came across Tamara\u2019s blog [2] and I have indeed learned subsequently since reading and commenting on her work. She gave an example that is quite obvious but not thought by everyone as she wrote \u201cIf a shop assistant remembers me, and recommends something that I might be interested in, then I\u2019d regard this as good customer service. But when a computer does the same, people argue that it\u2019s an invasion of their privacy.\u201d Hence I replied by raising issues like hacking, governmental surveillance, etc., which perhaps encourages people to have more than one online identity just to be on the safe side. Things even got more interesting when I came across Sarah\u2019s blog [3] as it enlightened me on how the concept of digital visitors and residents might influence a person\u2019s choice of having more than one online identity. However it raised a little question, as perhaps that is not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this topic has been of great interest as everyone\u00a0had different views and understanding of it which consequently led to a better grasp of the topic. Personally I only have one identity online and do intend to just have one because like I have always emphasised\u2026 it is always down to a matter of choice (as seen on the poll attached to my blog).<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/keywords\/choice_2.html%23O4QYezAlRXlh8bgF.99\">http:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/keywords\/choice_2.html#O4QYezAlRXlh8bgF.99<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] <a href=\"https:\/\/tamaramanton.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/21\/topic-2-me-myself-and-i-multiple-online-identities\/\">https:\/\/tamaramanton.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/21\/topic-2-me-myself-and-i-multiple-online-identities\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[3] <a href=\"https:\/\/sarahkyle27.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/21\/discuss-the-arguments-for-and-against-having-more-than-one-online-identity\/\">https:\/\/sarahkyle27.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/21\/discuss-the-arguments-for-and-against-having-more-than-one-online-identity\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/aaaliyu.wordpress.com\/207\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/aaaliyu.wordpress.com\/207\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=aaaliyu.wordpress.com&#038;blog=42102080&#038;%23038;post=207&#038;%23038;subd=aaaliyu&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The argument for and against having more than one online identity is more or less down to a matter of choice.
