Remember when
Computers weren’t Cool??

Original Hardware promoted “geek” users

Appealing hardware means different users

Almost anyone accessing anything, anytime

Leading to a social web

So a lot of us give little thought to online identity

Others work hard to build an online profile in text and graphics

Young people know the power of the avatar

Your online presence does NOT need to look, perform or behave like you!

An avatar that is older, fatter or less stylish than its owner is NOT COMMON

An online presence is a continuous construction site

Interactive:
Tell the person next to you about something that you wouldn’t want put online

Your online identity is very Visible and increasingly Important
