Who Are You Online?

1. What do you think it means to be “real” or “fake”?
A: Real means to tell the truth and not talk behind your own friends or others peoples back. fake means when your going behind everyones backs and lying about yourself.

2. Do you think it’s easier for people to be “fake” online than in real life? Why or why not?
A: Yes it is easier to be fake online because they can not see the real you and you could just be lying about yourself and put fake pictures of other people.


1. Ramon talks about how some people exaggerate or seem very different online than in person. How do you explain these differences between their online and in-person personas?
A: On online people tend to be nervous in person and put up fake information about themselves to attract women. Most are too scared to actually be face to face with another women.


2. Are there risks for creating an online presence that is very different than the offline one? Are there benefits?
A: Yes it is a risk because there can also be predators online looking to find information about minors. Yes there is benefit because most people who tend to be very nervous in front of others feel better knowing that they are actually talking to a ladie and she doesn't know how he/she really looks like.

3. What are other reasons why people might feel they can act in ways online that they wouldn’t act offline?
A: Another reason is they feel more relieved of themselves by talking to femals/males online to get more information about them but not meet in person.

4. Are there any benefits to being anonymous or being less inhibited online ?
A: Yes there is some benefits because some just like talking online better than ini person.

5. Are there risks involved with being anonymous or less inhibited online?
A: Yes because there can be adults putting false information saying that they are younger to contact younger girls/boys and get information to where they live at.
