“In ancient Greek the word
“persona-lity” … is derived from
the word for “mask”. The function
of the mask was not to hide the
actor but give information about
the character.” Rhizome: Digital Identity Matters, Warburton
2010, Eduserv, Kings College, London p12

“… this mask is our truer self,
the self we would like to be …
our conception of our role
becomes second nature and
an integral part of our
personality.”

or‘One of the key social skills for the 21st
century is building and maintaining your networks … the more people can connect and collaborate, the better.’ (RIN p.32)
So – Make up your mind – do you think like this:
I’d rather spend the time thinking about what I’m going to do next rather than spend it telling others what I’m doing…’ (RIN p.32)
