2. A
VIRTUAL
LIFE
“MULTIPHRENIA”
We are tethered to technology; we are shaken when
that world 'unplugged'.

3. • We're slipping too far into a virtual world and losing a
sense of real life, real self, and real priorities.
• “Someday, I hope we will appreciate that the computer
is not a substitute for a real human being.” - Dr. Ali
Jazayeri

4. • There are “types” among almost anyone's collection of
“friends”.
• “Cyberspace is where we dive into people's lives. The
danger is when we throw reputations out there, and we
put avatars attached to who we are.” - Dr. Eleazar
Eusebio

5. • In a virtual world where it is understood that everyone
exaggerates and reality is always slightly distorted, the
temptation to lie or stretch the truth is more pervasive
than ever.

6. • “One huge thing that's gone on over time is the social
media world isn't always real. It isn't reality. I think we
need to keep that in mind. There's a fine line between
branding yourself well and straight up lying and
misinterpreting your experiences.” - John Fowler

7. • “ As far as affairs go, if the will is there, people will
always find a way.” - Dr. melody Bacon

8. Technology and social media are new ways to connect to
other people from afar and to disconnect from your
family, or partner, or loved one.
“I am linked, therefore I am.” - Kenneth Gergen
