[ Biography ]

 

Development of technology and the virtual world has become more significant to the real world. People from different regions are now more connected by the internet and advancement in transport, and they develop multiple identities other than their physical status. Rather than eliminating geographical and national boundaries, this interconnectedness has, in itself, become a new dimension of identity: Not only does it provides a global forum for one to present and express him or herself, it also bridges minded individuals that were otherwise separated by physical limitations.

科技及虛擬世界的發展,對現實世界的影響日益深遠。來自世界各地的人們現時可以更頻繁地藉由互聯網與及先進的交通設備進行交流、連結,不受限於彊土國界,建立多重身份,無需消除地理界限,亦提供非物理空間以容許人們建構全新身份。虛擬世界提供表達自我的全球化平台,讓個體思想可以超然於物理限制,進行交流。
