Our generation of the early 2000s (twenty double oh) has a unique perspective of this technology-induced society: our fist-hand experience of technology coincides with the larger role of the internet as a global community of international cultures & connections.
One can still recall those early social media sites we tested, a beta-generation that blogged like nobody was watching, observing the design-ready wisdom after the dot-come boom, & indiscretion concerns with photographs & information. However, there is also a very extensive linear bread crumbs following me wherever I go.
In this century, our ‘virtual’ presence precedes our physical self.
How intuitive then, that we must learn to separate ourselves from these cyborg-implemented sense of identities: Dawn Foster writes about the importance of maintaining a personal and professional presence within the haphazard realm of social media for our beta-savvy generation.
“I consider everything that I share online, even in “private” areas, to be public information. If I would be embarrassed to have a family member or client see it, I don’t post it.”
You can… be professional and personal at the same time in social media without too much effort. When we talk about “being personal” on social media web sites, I think that many people confuse “personal” with “private.” The reality is that you get to decide what to share and what not to share, so you can still keep most areas of your private life private.
