This is my first time blogging. Not really sure what to write about... Nothing really exciting happened this week I guess except for listening to the new Arctic Monkey's album and PSN is back, FINALLY!!! :D
By the way, this blog background template is called 'Awesome'! lol. (Isnt it just)
Week 1 reflection
After watching the Introduction video by Sky C. I have found the 'Star Wars Kid' case quite intriguing and did some further research to understand the effects of Digital Shadow.
I think it would be fair to say that the 'Star Wars Kid' video has misrepresented Ghyslain Raza's image and gave misleading perceptions of Mr Raza's persona. As a result Raza went into depression and seeked psychiatric care. (http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/the-star-wars-kid-where-is-he-now-20100604-xi0f.html)
Another danger of Digital Shadow is that it is static in time and cannot be removed once it goes viral. Digital Shadows are the conviction of post internet fame which the victims will be remembered by, despite of future events. A good example would be Kim Kardashian/Paris Hilton's sextape.
