This article talked about a lot of different things that had to do with technology and culture and the effect they have on people. It talks about how avatars and 3D worlds will create and 4th stage of identity, which will be called "The Distributed Self".
What stood out to me the most was when it talked about how people who participate in 3D worlds or use avatars coordinate multiple personalities, which consists of their physical self and two virtual personalities. This interests me because it makes me think about how this generation is so unhappy with the self image that they feel the need to hind behind avatars in virtual worlds. Many people go online to virtual worlds and create avatars that are nothing like themselves, but rather what they believe will be accepted by other people.
