When defining social media in terms of private versus public spheres it cannot be fully placed in either category. Instead it exists in a sort of spectrum, reaching from a physical identity in a public sphere to a virtual identity in a private sphere. This is due to the reasoning that an individual, or multiple individuals, using social media are interacting with others in a very public and open manner, while the physical individual is confined to the privacy behind the screen, real world identity hidden from all others. It is this threshold between the public and private spheres, or the physical and virtual realities, that enforces the idea of these users as cyborg identities, as they are both made up of human characteristics in the real world and the virtual characteristics in the virtual world. The actions that follow out of the user’s interactions involving the social media causing their identity to fluctuate between these spheres, never fully involved in one over the other.
