The you in cyberspace
Its hard to respond to something like this. at first you see yourself in the reflection. is it you or just a virtual replicate. the form using the computer is an physical person but when it comes to creating a web-identification its a totally unique identity, non of it is real but it is. the person creating the info knows what their doing and ways that it may interact with others.

The information posted on the web would be considered a decaffeinated version of who the person is. the physicality might not exist but there may be more than it seems. the law basically respond to suicide notes and in that case a note online may be considered to be real.

My Final Project

At first, i had no clue on what to do next. soon i got the idea to use Amazon Mechanical turk to soliciting individuals asking them for information regarding technology. each person was paid 15 cents after completing the assignment.

I would like for 20 people to write me a 1-2 paragraph paper telling and explaining to me the reason for thanksgiving and do they believe technological advancement has changed the meaning of thanksgiving. also i asked them to upload their favorite piece of technology.

with this add out there, i received responses within a few hour. many of them were interesting, especially those who believe they are closer to their love one because of technology.

after that i then went on to creating another add asking 20 individual to upload images of their favorite technology dating between 1980 and 2010. many of those were things i never see or even heard of. some of them were strange, images of iggy pop and a church sign were a few of those images added.
