Social Identity

The new forms of social interaction it allows require us to reconsider the meanings of terms such as ‘community’ and ‘identity’. It allows communication between millions, who will generally have never net. The user can present themselves to many others with almost no restrictions, and via various media. Significantly the individual has much more control over the expression of their identity than face to face interaction. Users can impart anonymous, or create a new identity on the net. I also looked at internet dating sites that set up non traceable phone lines enabling non traceable calls.
