Class 6 Assignment 9

Last week we did the identity mapping activity.  I really learned about how much social media was a part of my life, more then 50% of my day is consumed with social media.   In the report The Distributed self Richard Gilbert and Andrew Forney discuss the way 3D technology will change the way people think about themselves and view others.  At the beginning a brief history is giving and talks about the human identity and how it is divided into 3 stages, the Pre-modern Stage, the Modern stage, and the post modern stage.  These stages show that throughout time technology has really shaped who people are.  

This article had a lot of good information and I think there are several ways it can be interpreted.  People now have the ability to be whoever they want to be, the article talks about being able to be multiple people at once by cloning yourself, being one person in the 3D world and another in the real world.  It will be interesting to see what the future holds for us when it comes to connecting with one another.  I personally don’t engage in many virtual worlds today except for facebook and snapchat, but who knows, but even those have allowed me to connect with people I would otherwise not be able to connect to.  It is so easy to get in contact with people these days with social networking; you can create a whole friendship out of it.

Class 5 Assignment 10

I did the identity mapping project online.  I wasn't surprised to see that email was number 1, since I use it all day at work and school, I also have several email accounts that I use for various reasons.  I never realized how much social media I was using, I recently deleted my twitter and deleted my facebook account from my phone to prevent distraction.  I guess it's a step in the right direction.  This survey only took me about 15 minutes, it was pretty straight forward and provided a good visual at the end.
