This week’s readings and videos ignited a sense of reflection and consideration as to what my digital identity looks like and how this is curated. A digital identity is essentially one’s personal beliefs, emotions, cognitions, experiences and interactions that are presented on digital platforms, both professional and personal. It can also be attributed to how one chooses to interact with others and use different tools and platforms available to develop or learn new skills. One’s personal approach to their digital identity in the context of social media appears to be more associated with joy, connection and excitement shared with others online. It also is a way to communicate different forms of information that may not necessarily be linked to one’s career or professional goals, such as birthdays, celebrations or vacations. In contrast, professional approaches to one’s digital identity can involve using educational sites, learning applications and tools and networking platforms such as Linkedin, to connect and create professional opportunities. This could mean that their social media use involves more sharing of content that interests them in an educational or career sense, highlighting projects or activities they are involved in and how they can support themselves and others with new skills acquired. Both these identities have their respective place in society and can be responsible for various opportunities, events and skills that can benefit both their professional and personal lives. One example of this was highlighted at the World Economic Forum Press Conference in which the Indian representative stated that those who were able to gain a form of identification could have increased access to financial institutions and networking and social media platforms, highlighting the benefits and changes in the Indian economic sector aimed to benefit smaller or underserved communities. However, concerns discussed in the Indian supreme court emphasized that privacy, agency and control over one’s data and its use should be of the utmost importance and prioritized for citizens. These two perspectives highlight the importance of aiming to provide individuals access to healthcare, financial support and communities, while also maintaining their privacy, consent and portrayal of their identity.
