Social actions: behaviour that is oriented towards to behaviour of others.

Anonymity in groups can lead to de-individuation. Our ability to communicate with others digitally, face to face etc. and relate to the content in these conversations. Focus on what were able to do with tech rather than using the tech. Storing data, accessing data and gathering info. We are always creating an identity in our forms of communication. We can recognize our voice over the phone. In written media, we have our own personal hand writting or a personal seal. The way people recognize how we chat online, send emails, etc.
