The Role of Technology in Generating a Deeper Sense of Identity

The self is being fundamentally relational, so the sense of I exist as a self in relationship to those around me. We find a really high relationship between what someone does on Facebook and then how they report their personality or how others rate their personality. You use social media because you want to communicate something about who you are. And we kind of learned that which makes sense, right? It wouldn't almost make sense to make up a fake persona if you were then that's probably who you want to be in a way.
