We Our Digital Selves
For most people there is a clear demarcation between their online selves and their selves in person, but for others, there isn't. For me, I'm the same online as I would be in person. Meaning, that I talk to and treat others like I would talk to and treat them in person. When we are online there are parts of us that people can't see without them being near us like our facial expressions, our motions if we talk with our hands, and our attitudes towards what we or they are saying. People may not get your humor if they can't see you so they could take it the wrong way online. In my opinion, what you put on the internet reflects who you are and what your morals are as a person. You really have to be careful. This means that you shouldn't put any demeaning posts or comments about something, post inappropriate pictures, or use language that isn't appropriate because sometimes people first meet "you" online and you only get one first impression. Now that people use the internet daily, sometimes it's hard to define who people are in person and online so I guess that makes us really undefined.
