"What does this tell us about digital culture?"

"It's probably a man pretending to be a woman."

This line is said by the older child, Peter, as he is beginning his interactions with a person, who username is   "Untitled", in the chat room. There is a joke about the internet which has since become almost a rule of thumb. The joke is that "all men on the internet are pedophiles, all women on the internet are men, and all kids on the internet are cops". What's interesting is that Peter makes a note of this but is making a game out the their conversation and doesn't reveal anything about himself. the younger child, Robby, continues to have this conversation with "Untitled" despite what his brother said. So, what does this tell us about digital culture? This tells us that we can only know who someone really is by meeting them face to face. The barrier of the internet and technology prevents us from interacting and learning about each other. We might be who we say we are on the internet and we can easily lie right to each others' faces. I believe that this tells us to go out into the real world and meet each other. Moreover, that the best way to know someone is in real life. Not by the words on a screen but by skin on their face, the blood in their veins and the reality of their soul.
