1. What do you think it means to be “real” or “fake”?
That if your real identity is out there or the fake person you have created online or in any other social networking account.
2. Do you think it’s easier for people to be “fake” online than in real life? Why or why not?
I personally think that if you expose your real information your are going to be certain with the people you are sharing information with because it is something important that only you should know.
Answer the following questions based on the video...
1. Ramon talks about how some people exaggerate or seem very different online than in person. How do you explain these differences between their online and in-person personas?
They are different than they are in the computer or how you interacted with the person, by knowing the person in real life you will determine how the person is or if they are different than how they said.
2. Are there risks for creating an online presence that is very different than the offline one? Are there benefits?
Well, Im assuming that if you are very protective on your information then you shouldn't expose it in the internet. I think there are beniefits because if something bad were to happen then you wouldnt risk as much you would if you had given your personal information.
3. What are other reasons why people might feel they can act in ways online that they wouldn’t act offline?
Because, for example, you would feel open to a person you are talking to online than you would if you were with them in real life. You are most likely to talk in the internet than in real life.
REVIEW the Key Vocabulary words anonymous and inhibited...
4. Are there any benefits to being anonymous or being less inhibited online?
Yes, because you can hide all your personal information or not expose it to the peoploe that surf the internet .
5. Are there risks involved with being anonymous or less inhibited online?
Yes, because you are willing to put stuff in the internet that in real life you do not do. People will try and critisize you for who you are trying to be.
