Digital IdentityExcerpt from the report: Digital Identity
Matters (2010)
Our relationship with the Internet is changing. Mobile devices,
wireless connectivity, and our increasing virtual presence across
multiple social media services have all but collapsed the boundary
between being online or offline.
The Context
Together the virtual and the real form the seamless space in
which many of us live out our daily lives. We fashion the self
through social interaction, community and network affiliations, and
here come to construct our identities as well as interpret the
identity of others.
