“ Social networks mandate identity formation on the model of cloud computing. One’s corporeal self is merely the local host for a self whose operating system is now fixed elsewhere, distributed across a digital array. Our bodies function merely to transfer data to the cloud, to the networked space in which it may be transmogrifed into identity. Akin to “software as a service,” we now have self as a service.
— Rob Horning over at PopMatters . However over-intellectualizing it is, I really dig this thesis… the digital, distributed self. (via Tumbledore)
