Building digital cultural identity on the ruins of real-life identity

A small screen allowed society to cross into world cultures and transcend geographical boundaries.

Several years ago, the #Internet entered our reality. He began to form his own civilization. He extended his algorithms over the days, sweeping the universe and integrating it into #cyberspace. This term has been used to describe computer networks, communication, information, and remote control systems. To enter this space, we need a #digital_identity.

In an interview with “Cyber

The motive behind creating this identity is “with the aim of growing and building the self and prolonging the personal identity in a medium other than reality,” adding that “building it on social media networks is linked to the user’s profile, where the person is identified based on what he uploads and shares and the things he interacts with.” with others. However, the difference between it and the actual social identity lies in the technological capabilities of the individual, which is considered an essential part that defines the user’s digital personality. The person aims to achieve the growth that he aspires to through developing and building both identities, but interaction in the virtual world, which is considered an intermediary A new way of self-realization that includes greater flexibility in communication and interaction and reaching the largest number of people, which contributes to individuals’ sense of their influence by obtaining interactions from other digital identities, and leads to a sense of the permanence of the identity that is being built.”

 Delgado believes that “not knowing and seeing the recipient of our messages makes it easier to reveal our inner beings and secrets.” Because of this distance and separation between people that social media, screens, and technology enable, “anyone can create a fake identity and interact with others through it, without anyone being able to detect it. Therefore, the more we use social media networks, the more important it is to be aware, conservative, and verify the background and truth of who we are.” We communicate with them.” Since the #Internet is a powerful tool for disseminating personal data and information, Lucia says, “When we share something on the network, we lose control over it and it can turn against us, so we must be careful of what we do or want to share on social media, and in return we must not misuse it.” What reaches us through these means and we bear the responsibility of keeping what was given to us confidential,” adding, “With the increase in the number of victims of #cybercrimes, it must be noted that every victim must seek the help of experts and specialists who will contribute to addressing the damage resulting from the misuse of the #Internet.”

Many #Internet users face psychological disturbances regarding their cultural identities on the ground, due to the intersection of several practical, emotional and psychological factors in creating a digital identity and highlighting it as a probative and sometimes false document in order to cross into globalization. In this regard, Delgado explains, “The causes of this disorder are openness to new ideas and customs that the individual tries to adopt despite their conflict with his culture acquired from society.” She added, “This situation may constitute a conflict with the self or with the surroundings that prevents them or limits their ability to adapt in their society, so they have a feeling of alienation, lack of belonging, and even isolation. They find in the virtual world an escape that makes them less aware of and less connected to reality.” She advises every user that “we must learn how to work in the most appropriate way with this new digital medium. While the #Internet and social networks have become an integral part of our lives, it is our responsibility to know how to take full advantage of them as a means of learning, communication, etc., but also “We must protect ourselves from the potential threats lurking therein.”

If the real world contains many secrets, then what about the virtual world? Yes, he is a smart scientist who has reduced time and lightened the burden of practical pressure. Yes, we can only continue to follow this amazing civilizational development. But caution and caution are necessary, and it is necessary to scrutinize and allow room for doubt and verification before trusting and following any person, information or application.
