Virtal Reaity

I agree with Rhonda that we can create an identity based on our social profiles and pages. Often based on what you write and talk about, people can have an image of what you look like in their heads, but really you are so different from that! She showed an example of this by holding up a picture of her virtual self to the audience. What you get in the virtual world, may not be what reality is.

In the quarter we talked about being able to create a "false" identities through what you post on you social networks. For example, we discussed how someone can look so gorgeous on their Facebook page but once you see them in real life, they look beyond normal and totally normal. That is because some people only put up the best pictures of them to give others a certain "image" of who they are. Sometimes it can be positive and other times negative. Another thing we have discussed is connecting with others. Through this virtual world people can connect with so many more people and companies. You can gain connections and exposure from this world and not even have to be there. You can be in the comfort of your own home while presenting yourself virtually in various parts of the world. Another concept is how to build your social networking. This is another way to get your business heard and relate to others. Virtual applications can come from this making it bigger than ever. Being able to see yourself virtual on you IPhone could be very fun and really get everyone interesting. 

Through all of this I understand so much more from our class. I understand that social media is always growing and will continue to grow because new ideas are always being generated. I feel that I now know how influential social media can be and how important it is to present it positively and creatively in order for it to catch on in the public.
