The next article I read was the second Nakamura article on Cyberspace. We learn that you can pretend to be anyone because no one can really know you else they are one of your real friends. In these online profile you can become the popular person that you may not be in real life. Sometime we all want to be something we are not, so that others may like us. But the truth is we are who we are. Trying to to change for everyone is impossible and also it is not good for yourself esteem. The most important thing to remember about the being online with a profile is to be who you are on the inside and it will show through to the outside. I that people look at a person and judge them for how they look and act. we are all just trying to find our place in this earth. I feel that for me my place is somewhere i can listen to my music , see friends, and live a drama free life. As we all know that does not exist, but we try to achieve that with being online. This online life we can represent ourselves any way we want to.
Most people try to represent with there race they actual are in real life. On the other hand some people hide there race, gender,age and others. They do this fit in the mold on being a insider not to be an outsider. That is a fine line to walk between knowing who you are and being the cool person. I believe that online life is its own worst and best emeny. It could come back to haunt you with everything you have every said to someone. It could be good for you in the fact that you can use it to find out that someone has been talking bad things about you. All that means is you should watch what you say about yourself and other people.

I like these your sayings "Trying to to change for everyone is impossible and also it is not good for yourself esteem. The most important thing to remember about the being online with a profile is to be who you are on the inside and it will show through to the outside". Changing your race, speaking ways(typing through online), putting different person's picture on the default....I think these ways are very easy, but pretending to be others will hurt your emotions inside. It is the most important to show yourself anywhere and anytime, but showing too much info is also dangerous to be stolen your ID/info.
i m trying to talk about the artical that the teacher gave me in the lecture.i strongly agree with you that trying to change oneself to other is impossible.The cyberspace offer us an identity that we want but we cant have it in the real world.we can build up our age, height, weight and education level in the virtual world.for example, in the forum, online game and webblog. therefore, the most important thing we have to do is to
provide more education to our next generation using the internet in a right way.
What is the reason for addressing your race online anyway? Is it just so when you are chatting, you can put a face with the typing? Is it really wrong if someone poses as a different race? In my opinion, it's the "imposters" problem if they want pretend thy are someone else.
