I should get points if COTB agrees with me, that would be good upgrade, COTB +1 karma, anyway, I'm digressing here, but online culture has changed the way we identify with each other, like for example I know more about your personal story-cat pee, sari, teepee, snackcake love- seagrave newguything- more than peeps I work with for the most part, so where your identity was more based on location, due to internet, there is a funny thing going on with personal idenity... that I haven't really nailed down yet... my main point is what once is that I think as we move forward in time, culture and identity are becoming more dependent on online activity... so it just seems that it is currently okay to reveal more of who you are online, than it was in the past, and in the future, our identity will become even more entrenched with online communication... this all happens almost invisible to us because we take it for granted... only a very few predicted just 12 years ago that we would connected to each other as we are right now, and so in the next 12 years who knows how our own identities will change as we become more entrenched in an ever changing culure thourgh technology...
Thats said, heather, you are a hawtie in my book.
