This is NOT Weekly 2

For the second Weekly I read The Dream Must Be Continuous by Joanne McNeil which led me to read "How A Tinder Experiment Lured 70 Guys To A Froyo Shop In Search Of Dream Girl" and research on "the cartoon "On the Internet Nobody knows you're a dog"


Catfishing 70 guys to meet a girl over tinder

I was facinated with the idea of putting on a new personality when online. I think of the internet as an extension of life, nothing is private, and everything is permenent. I was taught this at a young age as CEOs and Leaders in the community would get in trouble for bad facebook posts, or inapropreate internet usage. I held myself to the standard that, treat the internet as you would the real world and you'll be okay. Be respectful, responsible, and be yourself. Faking an identity, wondering what it would be like to be a girl online was never something that struck my curiosity. Being someone fake online was a bad voodoo we credited people with in highschool. If you were one thing online then you were that person in real life, if your online profile didn't reflect you, then something was off.

My first question I ask myself is; if the warning to kids about facebook used to be that "facebook is permenent be careful what you say, don't post certain things to facebook" has it now become: "Don't listen to everything facebook says, infact... don't let facebook stuck you in and keep you within a confinement of your own data driven interest-based newsfeed"?

The Second Question I ask myself is, will internet personalities and real life personalities blend into one, where pretending to be a someone else becomes both online and in person?

there's nothing left here, you might as well leave
