YOUR AVATAR: SHOW ME THE REAL YOU


Video by Jalyssa May Caccam
Title: YOUR AVATAR: SHOW ME THE REALY YOU
I acknowledge that this video wouldn’t be possible without the videos and pictures I used
 (Please see list of sources) 
Thank you for the people who allowed me to use their Facebook profile pictures (Comm150 Classmates and Friends) J
This video talks about the effects of the Internet and how it changed the way we interact, build relationship and the way of living. This also summarizes the things I learned from the course.
Song: Born this way by Lady Gaga

  1. The virtual life is such an interesting field of study. That's why I'm inspired to enlist in Psych195 (Special topics: Cyberpsychology). The dichotomies of our lives online and offline is just interesting to look at.

    It's also worth looking yung development of our perception of our selves online. How do our image vary on different online set-ups. Do our online self change when we are in facebook and when we are in an academic online forum? :)

    Ayun naman. Congrats Jamay, and thanks sa exposure ng facebook accounts namin. Hehehe. :)

  2. The virtual world allows us to show the part of us we are so afraid to show in the 'real' world. We post on social networking sites with expectations of sympathy (likes and comments) from out virtual friends. As what Atton (2004) said, "the virtual world may be seen as constituting a protective container which all wishes are gratified." We make celebrities based on our own selves. Online we can have our own Hollywood create our own showbiz news through our status and posts.

    Thanks, Jamay! :)

  3. Buti maayos profile ko. haha

    The think the net fills the gaps in our lives. The rewards and attention we get online satisfy what we are deprived of in the real world. We just need to be careful not to confuse reality with virtual reality.
