Talk:Andrew Lanham

Dominick Dellimperio

Hey Andrew, good write up! I think it's interesting how, because your name is fairly common, your data identity is shielded in a way. I remember in discussion the other day someone mentioned that, because there name is actually so common, their report was completely incorrect! Focusing on this phenomenon would be something I'd look into more if possible.

Andrew, I really liked this profile! What interested me the most was your analysis of the director from the Just Mercy movie and the correlation to the idea of shaping your identity. Despite you having the same name, it did not affect your own personal data identity. A simple search, as you stated, would easily differentiate yourself from the director. If you could, I would try and speak more on this idea along with its contrast, that being if people have similar names and it actually affects their identity. I believe this would spark a good discussion.

Andrew, you really explain the framework behind your ideas! I thought your explanation in "Internet Shaping My Identity" was particularly interesting because you question the definition of identity itself. I also thought it was interesting how you pondered how much digital you represents real you — I would have liked to hear a little bit more about the differences between your real life and your digital identity, along with why that does or doesn't matter (in your opinion). It could be helpful to consider refocusing the first section (Framework for Information Revolution) on your personal experience, because although you did a good job of explaining your ideas, you don't explicitly connect them to your own identity until later. Lastly, consider captioning your images — I thought the second one was very effective for helping readers to conceptualize what the other Andrew Lanham is like.
