Identity:
XXXXX
Taking from the reading it is possible to see that identity in the realm of new media is constantly changing, this is due to the advancements in technology, for example, MUD's, Chat rooms, Virtual worlds (Lamdamoo). These facilitate the user with the tools to create new personalities that sometimes would not be allowed or frowned upon in 'normal social reality'. This cyber-world of never-ending possibility is amazing but can create 'real' social problems eg 'Julie Graham'. So this raises the question, does the internet need more control? if so who by? as it is seen in the case of Lamdamoo, they had to create their own rules and regulations due to a certain incident. So in sense they had become a self-governing body of cyber-identities.
