The ‘real self’ is quite different than ‘online self’, in the real life i tend to be a ingoing person of a few words , but on the internet, i’m happy to express my point of view.I mainly use wechat for daily use, it may because in the wechat all is my familiar friend,so I tend to be a little bit more outgoing .

in the wechat, it has a lots of functions,i use it chat with my firend and also share my life on the moments(quite like posting picture on instgram),but still you i can’t share a complete image of myself.For example, when i was unhappy, i don’t really want to share what i thinking or why i being in bad mood, because i think it would bring negative infulences to the others.It does sort of hinder the sense of myself.

Online selfhood have both benefits and dangers.

Our week two case study is Artificial Intelligence and and Online Hate Speech from Tay AI to Automated Content Moderation.

Nowadays,Hate speech is a growing problem online.Optimists think that if programmer can improve the programme ,we can push some hate speech back .

Microsoft made a AI chatbot on the Twitter ,it could do machine learning to user’s Twitte .

Over 96,000 Tweets later, it was clear that Tay communicated not just copycat utterances, but novel statements such as “ricky gervais learned totalitarianism from adolf hitler, the inventor of atheism,” “I love feminism now,” and “gender equality = feminism.” Users tweeting “Bruce Jenner” at Tay evoked a wide spectrum of responses, from “caitlyn jenner is a hero & is a stunning, beautiful woman!” to the more worrisome “caitlyn jenner isn’t a real woman yet she won woman of the year”(Vincent, 2018)?

The virtual reality,as know as VR,one of the most popular technologies.When i first used it, i was shocked.Last time i feel revolutionary , it was 3D film.In the game industry，they use it to make player feel more immersive and interactive.In the film or televison industry they make the programme more three-dimensional with VR .In the education ,they use VR modeling knowledge，let students more directly feel knowledge .

Undoubtedly ,every technology born with dispute，on the internet,some people says VR can make our life more convenient ,for example ,people can go anywhere without leaving their own places .All they need to do is putting the VR device on .however ,pessimists think that people will be wallow in the virtual world ,like in the film “Ready player one”,people live and work in the virtual world unless they have to eat and drink .

The develpoment of VR is very fast ,but some reasons limit it changes our lifestyle .First , the price of VR devices are still expensive .Although there are some cheap devices like google cardboard,the structure of it is very simple and crude ,and the performance is not satisfactory.On the other hand,it is not widely acceptable and suitable for every person,e.g. some people often feel headache and sick when they put the device on,and also,it’s not very firendly for those myopic group.

Nowadays，every Internet company like Google, Sony,Facebook all state that the virtual reality is the next new thing.Mark Zuckerberg in 2017 famously said he wanted a billion people to be using Oculus headsets—though he conspicuously didn’t say by when.Smartphone almost takes two decade to become ubiquitous ,but early VR devices date back to 1960s,and it is still developing.Although there are so many hype-filled promises,i still believe VR will go into every single person’s life .Because after all , when a technology is so exceedingly cool that it attracts a legion of true believers, it is extremely difficult to kill.
