Who are you?is one of the question that raises to me after coming to an end of this class. when we talk about identity, we can say it's a way of presenting ourselves to others. However, it's not always interpreted in the way we present it, but it can have a posture of how some one looks at you. This class we've been engaging with technologies and web applications. Not all but many has a way to express ourselves through media. it can be a form of texts or pictures even movies but we've been interacting with technologies which is a way to disguise ourselves. Some could argue that it's not their identity, which is shown in the internet, but I come close to where identity isn't always something I express. It's also something how someone else might encounter. For example, you have your world of warcraft character. You're a Warlock, blood elf, and female. The way you dress, the way you fight, and the way you express yourself in the game shows who you are. it's quite funny, but if someone else logs in and tries to act like you, your friends can easily see that it's not you and some else playing the game. The character could look just like you but so many other things, such as gesture, language, fighting pattern, etc, defines who you are. Your community member will understand that it's not you, where they interpret with a different identity although in same looking.In this class we all engaged in Pligg, and some how we constructed ourselves' identity in the pligg. my id is yxl228 and some of you will notice it's yxl228 by the way I express myself on the blog. So I guess it seems as the identity structures strongly the way you express yourself and how other people understands it.
