How do these impacts affect personal identity?• People become obsessed with “advertising”
themselves• The need to keep a clean online image creates a
social norm that looks down upon the posting of inappropriate things, causing some people to drop bad habits and adopt good ones in their place
• People become aware of the voice they have and choose to take action more than they have before
