I think in the modern era, these are my favourite topics of discussion and favourite medias to use to try and create new ideas/experiments in how people work.
Maybe I should be studying Anthropology or Psychology. I love the extension of ourselves in the digital world. It's like we have Us, then the professional us, then this digital us.
We can be anyone online, though it worries me that we don't believe we can be anyone in the real world. But we can say/do/be anything and so can everyone else. It's up to us to wade through the lies to find the truth if we choose to.
Anyway. The point is, i'd like to study character some more. And the way i'd make this character is by finding someone I know, but don't. We all have people on these sites who we know, say we take a class with, or met at a party once. We are "Facebook Friends" but not real friends.
I'd like to take one of these people and make them my character, just from information on their sites that they give away for free. Use their photos to set scenes in their lives, read their status' to get an idea of what they enjoy. I'd love to see how accurate or ridiculous we could make it.
