EMERGENT - Socio-Digital Self
The socio-digital self is the life we have in the internet. After the discussions about this, I learned that being able to adapt to modern technology is a must in this generation we live in. A good example why is this pandemic. Notice how almost everything done face-to-face in the past transitioned to online setups. Businesses were done mostly online, and even education is taken online and so much more. However, there is still this responsibility that we must ensure that we use technology properly. This is why we have digital citizenship. This is anjointed in 3 general principles: respecting, educating, and protecting oneself and other. This citizenships purpose is to regulate human behavior in this digital world.
Something that could be brought up in this topic is something i mentioned in the past. Online disinhibition, where a person could feel like he or she is at home in the internet or if he or she is just straight up rude and really jsut uses the internet to harass people. Whatever it is, online disinhibition is the way we see people communicate in the internet.
In the internet, there is something we call "anonymity". It is being anonymous, keeping your real identity away hidden while being able to be open in the internet. As far as I know, most anonymous people enjoy doing stupid things like harass others while there are others who just wants to help out.
The internet is filled with different personalities. It could either be who the person truly is or it also could be different in an actual setting. The digital world continues to improve and it's something that is involved in our every day lives now. It is important to know the elements of digital citizenship in order to cope up and adapt to the new things that happens in the digital world. After all that, I keep track of what I do in the internet. I don't reveal too much of myself and I think about what I share before I do it. I am doing my responsibility in keeping the internet less toxic and I think I am doing a good job being a digital citizen.
