Importance of Online Identity: Difference between revisions

Sometimes the line blends between who we are and who we are online.  At different levels we are all unique.  Indeed, the identities which we create for ourselves on the internet expands upon this uniqueness by creating yet more selves whose origins lie ultimately with our own wetware-based minds.  However at times the separation of the wetware-based individual and his or her online projections can blur.  This may occur for a variety of reasons.

When an individual composes fiction involving fictional characters a variety of factors may influence both the way he chooses to make the characters behave and their own attributes as separate persons.  That is, not only may external factors influence the writer and her decisions concerning her characters but also internal factors.  Perhaps our writer wishes to explore some aspect of herself through a character.
