Class 6 assignment 9

We read an article called The Distributed Self: Virtual Worlds and the Future of Human Identity. This article brought up some intersting ideas and points about the human self. The two main ideas that this article covered was the idea that the human identity changes along with the developments of technology. the second idea is that the new developments of 3D worlds will completely change the idea of the human self and our identities. Some interesting points that were brought up were the idea of cloning, the reconsideration of mind and body dualism, and artificial intelligence.
This relates to the identity mapping project that we did earlier because we identify with the identities we have created on multiple online formats, creating a multiple self. It creates a whole virtual identity of ourselves on different formats, according to our desires.
