IDS: a reflection

This past week has taught me a lot about online identity – the management, the lasting effect, the benefits and drawbacks of online identity. But what stands out to me is the importance of having an online professional identity. Whilst this is not a requirement for all, on reflection, I feel that this topic has made it a requirement for me. Continue reading →

Single Identity vs Multiple Indentites:Reflection

I found this week’s topic be very eye-opening. It made me realize the importance of correctly managing my online identities and the possible negative repercussion that can arise from my digital activities. While I explored the differences between single and multiple identities in my previous post, I mainly focused on the benefits and drawbacks to an individual’s personal and professional lives whereas many of my peers emphasized aspects such as identity theft.

Multiple Identities? A Reflection

I feel that the structure of my blog has improved and I used infographics to support my arguments. Overall, I learned a great deal from reading my peer’s blog posts. Many people took to this weeks topic from different angles and so the blogs largely varied. Continue reading →

Reflection on Topic 3

  A different approach… After reading other blogs it became apparent that I took an alternative approach to others when using the theoretical work of Goffman and impression management as a way of evaluating the use of a single online identity vs multiple online identities. From this perspective the use of multiple identities is a natural phenomenon that allows us to maintain good impressions with different audiences, professional and personal. Continue reading →

Reflection on Single vs Multiple Identity

Which is better? At first, I thought having multiply identities was the best option as individuals can create different profiles or accounts to suit different audiences. After reading Nikhita’s Blog and looking at her comparison between Mark Zuckerberg and Christopher Poole I was more open towards the benefits of anonymity. Poole noted that people can be authentic through anonymity as they are more comfortable in expressing their true opinions without consequences (Lindsey, 2011). Continue reading →

Topic 3: Reflection

     My Discussions:    I discussed this matter further with Tewsdae, who mentioned that people used online identities in the past to detach themselves from real life. At first, I didn’t agree, but upon discussion she pointed out a blogger who posts a more “unfiltered” reality on motherhood. Continue reading →

Am I who I say I am online? A reflection.

This topic really opened my eyes to digital identities, a concept which has been very automated in my life. I have always naturally made each social media account slightly different from one another to target different audiences and maintain privacy. Continue reading →
