The issue of homepages and gender also arise in this report. It bashes women saying that they reveal way too mucha bout themselves on the internet which is extremely dangerous. I haven't done any research on this issue about women tending to give more information about themselves over the internet than men, but it doesn't sound true. There are so many scares about privacy and protecting oneself while online, that it doesn't sound likely that women would give out information so freely, especially since most women know that they are natural targets for crime and violence. In closing, I would like to give one final quote from this report, which I found extremely interesting.
Virtual identification depends heavily upon the very real physical infrastructure of the Internet.
It may be true that the Internet has no 'center' and constitutes a form of self organizing system when its circuits are in order. I liked this report, because it touch on some issues that I have never thought about. I introduces some interesting theories about the cyberself. I do not agree with all of them, especially the ones about women, because it portrays women as non-thinking brainless dummies only looking for romance. The report was really too long.
