Discussion Introduction
This unit explains the concept of digital self and the importance of digital
technology in human activities. It also presents the implications of and the
ethical issues involved in sharing personal information especially in social

2. REEMBODIMENT
Refers to new construction and definition of the self. Through the
digital technology, we are able to disembody and re-embodied our photos
and videos through the help of editing, photo shop and other accessories
that can help enhance it. An example of this is those who are undergoing
sexual identity crisis. Through the virtual worlds they are able to present
themselves in the way they want to present themselves. The internet
provides us a mask as well as safety which means that we do not see true
identity thus we must rely on the feedback of others for self –
improvement.
3. SHARING
Digital devices help us share more, as well as more broadly, than
ever before. Through Facebook, it is likely that social media friends know
more than the immediate families about daily activities, connections and
thoughts. Diaries that were once private or shared only with close friends
are now posted as blogs for anyone to read. In posting photos on sites like
Flickr or Photo bucket the use of arm’s-length self-photography marks a
change. Facebook is now a key part of self-presentation.
5. DISTRIBUTED MEMORY
Social media help us remember other people, emotions and events
of significance in our lives. We can look up old friends, see photos with
others who help a jointly construct the memory of shared events. Our
