Needless to say my opinions have evolved during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Having read the comments in Andy Sugden&#8217;s blog (Titled:\u00a0Online Identity or Online\u00a0Identities?) one key point I missed out with regards to having an Online Identity is the ability to have a unique persona, a fresh start if you will. The parallels Mr Sugden drew with Facebook and Online Gaming Worlds such as World of Warcraft made me think twice about my own Online Identity. I do take my Online gaming Identity for granted. I have made many good friends that I wouldn&#8217;t have met IRL and consequently I probably wouldn&#8217;t have made such good relationships over Facebook and other forms of social media.<\/p>\n<p>But of course the issues I brought up in my original post remain true. I am a strong believer that we must grow out of this social media world, where we have to step out of a world dictated by the number of Facebook &#8216;likes&#8217; and Twitter &#8216;followers&#8217; we have. I found a powerful video which I&#8217;d like to share:<\/p>\n<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='560' height='315' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z7dLU6fk9QY?version=3&#038;rel=1&%23038;fs=1&%23038;showsearch=0&%23038;showinfo=1&%23038;iv_load_policy=1&%23038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>I am also grateful for the comments from Din211. In hindsight, Online Hacking and Idenity Theft exists, but if you keep a level head the chances of you falling victim to an attack is very slim. The Internet is a wonderful resource but like everything in life, too much of a good thing can do more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>Andy Sugden&#8217;s Blog:\u00a0http:\/\/andysugden.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/25\/online-identity-or-online-identities\/#comments Date Accessed: 02\/11\/14<\/p>\n<p>Din211&#8217;s Blog:\u00a0http:\/\/dinj18hoursaway.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/26\/anonymity-one-of-the-most-powerful-inventions\/#comments\u00a0Date Accessed: 02\/11\/14<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Video &#8216;Look Up':\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY\u00a0Date Accessed: 02\/11\/14<\/p><br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/aumarm.wordpress.com\/19\/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/aumarm.wordpress.com\/19\/\" \/><\/a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=aumarm.wordpress.com&#038;blog=76717481&%23038;post=19&%23038;subd=aumarm&%23038;ref=&%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 days ago I hadn&rsquo;t given the concepts of Online Security, Privacy and Identity any serious thought.
