Here's my RJ!!! I anyhow do one!!! Don't care about what the faci one, this is what I think!!!
Have you ever assumed an identity in cyberspace other than your own? If you have - describe briefly what you were and state what the consequences were, whether good or bad. If you haven't been anyone else but only yourself on the internet (cyberspace), state what identity you might like to assume. State whether you see the need to be responsible or not. Why?
Yes, I have assumed an identity in cyberspace other than my own when I was chatting at ICQ chat room. The identity I used is I used a guy name and the details about myself is fake details but when they ask me about my hobbies, I tend to give to the people I chat with some are true and some are fake.
When I use the guy name people tends to believe that I’m a guy and some people believes that I’m a girl. When I used guy name, some girls asked me whether I want to have “fun” and what I do for fun when they ask me. So I ask them, how they define the meaning of “fun” and they told me that is have SEX. I think its weird cause when they know that I’m a guy and they ask me whether I want to have sex with them. I was shock because this is first time I found that girls are actually so open minded about sex.
Why did I fake my identities online chatting? I fake my identities because I doesn’t want people to know about me plus I doesn’t want the person come and find me when I told them where I’m staying at. It’s also very irritating when you told the person about yourself and they will tend to want to know more and they will ask about other things other than name, age, hobbies, ambition, location, sexuality and etc.
I think that the younger generation nowadays is open-minded and influence by surfing and chatting in the cyberspace. They tend to be more open-minded when chatting online than their usual self at school or home. This shows that cyberspace can lead ones to fake their identities and information about themselves. And I don’t think that I need to be responsible because I did told them my real name and they doesn’t believe that I’m a girl and not a guy. It’s up to the person thinking and do they want to believe what I write online.
