INTERNET IDENTITY

With the internet, people around the world can interact and communicate globally anytime, anywhere and anyplace. There are some ways which netizen can use to interact to each other exemplified by:
1. Multi User Domains (MUD)
2. Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

MUD is basically a multi-player computer game that combines elements of role-playing games, hack and slash style computer games and social instant messaging chat rooms. This game requires internet connection and players that may be come from diverse identity and places. So, this can be one of the methods in interacting with people that we may not even know their background or identity.

IRC is basically very popular among the internet user. People can chat using Instant Messaging such as Y! Messenger, Skype, Meebo etc. Sometimes people use other identity just to have fun becoming someone else rather than using their real life (RL) identity. It’s not easy to detect whether someone is lying or telling the truth in the cyberspace because it’s all displayed on the monitor but not in front of our eyes. So, to play safe, do not simple reveal your real identity to other internet user because they might be doing any harm to us because it is easy to detect any personal information in the internet.
