Discussion
What makes up your digital identity?What contributes to information about you
being openly available online?What factors make this out of your control?How can you manage what information about
you is available to others online?
What’s your Digital Tattoo?
1. Search your name/partner’s name using: Google (select for images, movies, etc. too) www.pipl.com MIT’s Personas at http://personas.media.mit.edu/ www.spezify.com
2. Consider your impressions of this person based on what you found online.
What did you find out about the person being searched? Was all the information accurate? Was there information missing? What might this exercise tell us about data mining? How might your digital tattoo compare to your partners?
Some things haven’t changed… People continue to redefine their personal and
professional identities as organizations and technologies change.
We still search for social connections and validation. Youth are still exploring and experimenting with risky
behavior.
Broad Context
What has changed is the fact that there could very well be a permanent record of all of this, one with implications that
can't be predicted or controlled. Common Sense Media

What are the issues at play in your group’s case?
What does the demographic of your case need to know about managing their online identity?
What are the benefits of online identity in your context?
What are the drawbacks?
Case Study Context: Seniors
New research from AARP finds that social networking is more important than ever to older Americans—more than a quarter (27%) of Americans age 50+ use social media websites, with Facebook being the most popular, followed by MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter.
71.1% of 55 to 64 year olds in Canada use the Internet
40.7% of 65 year olds in Canada use the Internet
Case Study Context: Job Seekers
“1 in 4 employed adults says their company has policies about how they present themselves online”.
“Just over 1 in 10 (~12%) employed internet users are public personae who say they need to market themselves online as part of their job.”
“The majority of adults do not want internet marketers to tailor advertising to their interests, particularly when that involves online data collection and monitoring.”
Pew Internet Research Report, 2010
The German government has proposed legislation to restrict the Internet content employers can use when recruiting.
