Identity in CyberSpace - Third change in identity

[Idobbitiete]

Horse Funds is one of the first HYIPs to incorporate the properties of a managed betting fund. Instead of strictly relying on new members to fund our program, we will generate a serious income for our program by betting harness races. I have gone into brief detail in the FAQ section of our site regarding my experience as a horse handicapper.

Besides our ability to actively generate revenue for our program, we are confident you will all be blown away by our ability to run our program professionally. We believe it's important to keep our members happy, and we will work hard to assist you whenever needed. This program is currently being ran by a staff of three who will be constantly available to help.

We hope you enjoy the service you receive from us, and will help spread the word. I believe it's only going to be days before we are quickly distinguished as the premier HYIP on the internet.

Here is the last part of the essay. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I agree that it is a lot of reading but it is also very interesting and important. I divided it into three parts so that it doesn't seem too long and you guys have fun reading it. All the stuff I talked about in the essay is serious and everyone should be careful about their identity. Loss of identity can be very dangerous, not only to you but your family members as well.

Finally, there is the third level that includes the domination of the fake identity created in cyberspace on the real identity. This is when the cyberspace meets the ?meatspace?. It starts with an individual creating a different version of his/her identity in cyberspace in a game or a forum. The individual may have been prompted to create a new identity as an experiment for reasons mentioned earlier or it could be just for entertainment. Once the identity is created and the individual is attracted to the game, he/she starts to believe that their real identity is the one that they created in cyberspace and not the one that actually exists in the real world. The cyberspace identity starts to dominate the ?meatspace? identity and the individual finds it difficult to distinguish between the two.

For example, Second Life is an online game that allows users to bend the reality in some ways. You can buy expensive houses and enjoy rides on boats that you cannot easily afford in real life. Second Life allows you to live the life that you have always dreamt of in virtual world. Spending money easily in Second Life may lead one to believe that they are in fact rich in real life. A middle class individual who is very rich in Second Life may start living like a wealthy person in real life and start spending money on unnecessary objects. Sooner, he/she will realize that this is just an illusion but by then it would have been very late to recover completely. One example of problems with Second life is the famous incident in China where ?a man was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a friend who sold the prized sword he'd loaned him ? a virtual weapon that existed only in cyberspace? (Bowen). Clearly, the murderer forgot his real identity and was overwhelmed by his cyberspace identity.

However, there are some positive aspects to Second Life as well. For example, many people make their living from games like these. It is probably difficult for one to understand how exactly a common person can make money from Second Life. Well, Second Life is not entirely free. You have to pay to buy a house or a boat ride in the game. It is not going to cost as much as it does in real life but it will cost you a few dollars nonetheless. Thus, some people sell their products like designed clothes that others can buy for their character in the game. These people have a new identity in cyberspace as a fashion designer but they do not mix it with their real world identity. For example Shannon is a fashion designer at Second Life who ?put in 40 hours a week eas[ily] and supports herself in Medford, Ore., by making virtual clothes for avatars in that other world? (Bowen).
Cyberspace is an intangible space that has come into existence in the last few years. It is where our telephone calls, money transfers and online activities take place. New features of Internet allow individuals to modify their identity online according to their will and constantly change it. There are three levels of change in identity that humans can experience through cyberspace. This change in identity has both positive and negative impacts. To avoid the negative influences, one should always remember that cyberspace is a human creation and we are capable of completely controlling it. Therefore, we should not let cyberspace determine our identity without our consent.
