Who Am We

In a world that teeters on reality and a virtual perspective, it can become easy to fall into the trap of living a life based on a digital identity. With that said, we as people need to learn how to decipher between what is real and what is created. Having the ability to create and live a life that is based on a virtual or digital identity has become easy and more prevalent with growing technology. I can see how people can become so far engaged in their own digital identity that it starts to take president over their real life. I believe that this is a negative aspect of this new world, however if we as people can balance the virtual world with the real world then having a digital identity is not necessarily a bad thing. With any new technologies that allow a person to step outside the boundaries of real life and create a lifestyle of their own, we run the risk of loosing touch with reality. Nonetheless, we as people need to realize that this virtual world in not reality nor will it ever become a reality, thus embracing our real identity is a virtue. I believe that we should teach people how to balance reality with virtual world in order to understand that a very real diferences exist between the two. As long as people can comprehend that these differences exists then we can eliminate the threat of loosing our selves to the digital world. Our born identitie will always be the real one and should always take president over the virtual world, and as long as we realize this, having a digital identity can remain purely entertainment based.
