The way people interact with each other in today’s world is completely different over the computer then they do in real life and it has been seen all over the world with facebook, online dating services, and twitter. Personal conversations to people in today’s world can seem so uncomfortable because they are so used to their online personality. You can start and end a conversation whenever you want when you’re online compared to in real time. I feel that this is so true and many people would rather talk to a girl online then in person only making when they finally meet up to be so socially awkward. The way that people can meet and interact with people online break all the rules of past interactions back in the day when you actually had to go out to meet and socialize with people. Online chatting gives more space between conversations and makes it easier to be whoever you want to be and avoid the personal interaction that may sometimes be awkward for a person. As technology keeps advancing their finding more ways to make socializing over the net easier and more personal to do, thus almost creating a personal interaction yet on a screen or video. People tend to anthropomorphize their computers and blame them for things that happen in them. Say a conversation ends and the person signs off on them they will tend to talk to the computer thinking something is wrong instead of thinking that person just didn’t want to talk. We do this on a daily basis for everything we own whether it is the computer, car, TV or even an appliance being used. People today depend on technology and the advances that will come with it to operate their daily lives.
I chose this image because I am currently in my last year of my sports and leisure studies degree and felt that this picture depicts what my major is all about. I’m looking forward to working in the sports world after college and going on to managing my own training facility for sports. Sports have always been a big part of my life and my physical fitness as well. My free time involves a lot of time spent playing sports outside and enjoying them with great friends. I’m also very dedicated to working out and being in an athletic shape. My online persona vs. my real life persona, I would have to say are the same people. I’m a very outgoing person and I feel that that comes across in real life and in my online life. My online persona is not fake because many people take your online persona to be who you are now a day before they even meet you in person, so by being myself in both worlds I feel that people would be able to understand who I am easier. Instead of acting like two different people making it harder for someone to understand or get to know me. In today’s world how people act online is the way that some people feel that person will act all the time, whether it’s true or not. People make judgments off of pictures, comments, or statuses all the time on face book and believe that that is how the person is. When in reality it could all be an act just to have more friends or to be someone their not. That’s why I feel like, why not be your true self no matter whether it’s online or in real life, why not make it easier for people to know the true you.
