a) In what way can the Net be thought of as an 'open architecture?'
b) Do you think that assuming an online persona (via screen name/handle etc) encourages people to play with identity they present online and take risks in the ways they express themselves?
c) What do you think of postmodern views which stress the fluidity of online selves and their apparent disembodied status, which has been argued frees people from being represented through signs of their race, gender, class etc?
d) Do cyberidentities constitute an alternative to 'normal social reality'?
e) Are online relationships the same as offline ones?
