online persona and global community

personally i had no problem writing an online persona..because in my opinion its just letting the viewers know a little bit about yourself.. what your interests are..what your hobbies are..occupation and/or goals.. however i wish i would have known it would have been read outloud in class that way i would have wrote a little bit more professional.. i was a little embarassed with all the smiley faces and "lol"s.. but it was okay for the most part.. i found it very interesting that our professor gave a simple assignment to the class and got such different responses from everyone.. furthermore being in a global community to me is being in a society of vast technology.. technology in a social way.. we are linked to eachother through facebook, myspace, emails, and instant messages with people not just in our local community but across the seas to the opposite side of the world.. communication has no limits in this day and age.. its facinating. its great to be able to keep in touch with family members in other countries and even meeting new people..!
