On page 3 first paragraph, Lacan talks about the mirror stage and about "faces" we analyze throughout our daily lives. He talks about the image being a threshold to the invisable hold. The invisable world being the internet by chance. Hes saying that we hold a "face" to people that we meet, to what WE think of them. In reality, yes there are real faces, but on the web we make our own faces for people.
Another paragraph that caught my eye is page 4 first paragraph. Im still having trouble exactly understanding this essay. But I'm not to sure he does either! He talks about the relationship between an organism and its reality. Throughout our whole class we talked about what really is reality while your on the web. Is there A reality on the web? I guess to people who are honest and themselves. But what about people who make fake identies? I guess everybody has to find their own reality on the internet, if not they may not know what the difference between real life and their "second" life!

Is it really fake? Project 2
I learned a lot with this project, there were many things I found difficult with each. Making a fake person isnt as easy as i thought. So I'm gonna start with Facebook. It was easy to make a profile and find a picture. But what was put in the profile was hard, its hard to make someone up that doesnt exist! I started to notice SOME of the activities and interests were mine! The hardest thing to do was make friends. I added atleast 50 people and only came up with 3! and 2 of them i knew from home! When people add me I dont know, i get nosie, maybe look at their profile, if its not private. So I can understand why people wouldnt add someone they didnt know, but i found a picture of a hot chick! Who wouldnt want to be friends with her?!?! That hurt just a little haha. (facebook name-Tizianna Ridgewood)
Blogger wasn't hard, making my bio was alittle difficult because I had to go back to my other profiles to remember my likes and dislikes so I wouldn't contridict myself. (Bloggername-tizianna10 at gmail.com)
Google maps was actually fun and easy, I got to live out my traveling fantacy! I never got to travel so it was fun to make a map that maybe someday I could follow! (Maps name-Tizianna10)
Twitter was one of the hardest, first it was hard for me to do it because I dont use my computer everyday! I followed some people, but no body followed me. I didn't know any emails to put in to the find, so i used some common names like Mark, or Dave, Jess, to find people. It was also hard because as much as I searched people, only a few of them had updates less then a day! A lot havent revised for a year! (Twittername- Tizzi)
Flickr was also difficult for the simple fact Im not the person that I say I am and therefore dont have any picture of her! I tried to create a photo album by finding picture that anyone could use. Not just picture of her, but my dream puppy, and picture of landmarks in Italy that any torist would take. (Tizianna10)
Overall i learned that to make someone believe you are that person, you need to make it just as real as you are. It was hard not to use some things that resemble me as a person such as my likes dislikes, etc.. It was also fun, expecally when I was finding my way through Italy! The hardest was making friends, for me, in myspace or facebook, I usually wont add people Idon't know! Because you never know who it could be !
