Where is your representative?

Recently our class watched a video that talked bout how our "selves" are going to collide. I believe that to be true. We have so many selves especially when it comes to dating with the influence of technology. Dating websites, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook gives us the ability to create different selves. Selves are who we want to be, but don't have the courage to become that person. So having these social network sites allows us to become who we want to be! When our parents were our age, they only had their one self to represent. They could't invent somebody, post a photo shopped picture to make somebody fall with them. They had to bring who they were to the table. In our generation we have the ability to digitally alter photos, lie about what we want in a relationship just to get somebody to take a second look.

So, since you have your dating profile which I imagine it looks something like this.....

Nice, Right? Wrong. Technology has become so advanced to the point where we can make a whole new person to represent us. But when somebody sends us a message on the dating website, or Facebook wanting to meet you who are you going to send? Your representative? No. See this is where your representative/self collides with you. What do you do? Your parents didn't have to go through this, it was very simple during their time. While dating websites requires you to put up a picture for your profile to be complete, it is up to you to put up YOUR picture. A picture of you that totally represents you, not who you want to be. Since this is my last post I wanted to leave you with a funny commercial that totally sums up what I am trying to say. Enjoy!
