MED Podcast: Online Identities


This is the MED podcast, where Eran, Dorothy and Milagros will be discussing the concept of online identities. How do people present themselves in the digital realm, and how important is the role of honesty in creating an online identity? How true do people stay to their offline self, while changing certain elements in self portrayal?
