Elizabeth Bomhower1plain2013-07-15T09:34:21-07:00This caption really speaks to the Turkle essay (Who am we?), which discusses the postmodern representation of identity in our internet-driven world. It also recalls the UNIX groundwork which modulates and categorizes via fragments. In this scene, the "identity" of the user is broken down into snippets of identifying "code" - discourse - in which an identity profile (profiling?) is then created which can be used as an algorithm. Hmm...the algorithms of identity...interesting thought.M. Elizabeth Bomhower

There's even a difference on many services between verified and unverified accounts/posts. I guess the Wild West of the internet has be replaced with a shopping mall.Dana Montello
