Document Summary
Front stage is what you edit and what you present to others. Back stage self is the one who you are. You create bonds with people when you show your back stage self. When we bring in media we must think how we communicate through media. There may be some back stage elements on the stage. You have a mediate everyday practise where you operate and act in your everyday life cause it could be recorded. You can have face-to-face and mediate quasi-interaction, which means there is some technology that is putting you in the conversation every now and again. You on facebook are thinking about how to talk and to present your persona. Thought that because of technology people were starting to feel placelessness. How we present ourselves is important, but we do things differently in different contexts. That moment when you get contacted and how you react in these small instances.
