Abstract

The realisation that social networks in cyberspace create a different virtual setting where a Technoself can be created by the way an individual shape their self (body and identity) to their own as well as society’s liking, elicits a notion that there was once either an ideal era of bliss or a Utopian promise of universal self-realisation. From a communicative perspective, this chapter propagates how social networks and identity are consequences of the accelerating rate of change and the subsequent ‘cyber revolution’.
