Shedding Your Identity

Shedding Your Identity

Throughout this marking period, we have been discussing issues around identity and invisibility. One of our essential questions for this unit is "How do we overcome alienation and embrace and assert our individual identities?" In Invisible Man, we are faced with a character struggling with his identity. Keeping all of this in mind, please post a response to the following question:

How hard is it to vanish, today, in the digital age?

50 word minimum

I think that it is really hard to become invisible or vanish in todays society. If you want to become invisible it would be hard with the new technology and social networks on the internet. It would be difficult to be able to thrive and succeed in the community without the technology. If you wanted to vanish in todays society you would not be able to be photographed because the next day it could appear on someone's social network. Today most things are communicated easily through pictures, the internet, and cell phones. I feel as though no one can really vanish or alienate themselves in todays society unless they really want to.
