Virtual Identity

What is our virtual identity? Is it a replica of our real-life identity or an enhanced or simplified version?

I often wonder how one uses identity online. Which characteristics of your identity are imperative to show and which characteristics are assumed or more blended in the Internet world. Why are some more hidden?

Identity politics is a term often used in social science academia and I sense that it's something that will become more and more complex as society becomes more interactive and dependent on virtual interactions. What can you omit online that would not be as simple in person?

What will you mold your online identity into?
