Then what about identities? Can we downsize the library of these multiple identities to avoid communicative confusion?
Technology may simplify mechanistic tools in the external world (a multifunction device) but in the electronic world of data organization, the web of multiple identities only last as long as there is interaction to any of these identities.
these greater extensions of our identities represented in objects (a teapot, a cigarette lighter, or a velvet elvis painting) all will be oddities beyond their apparent utility to an alien in any sense of the word "alien." Our sense of design in how we create our world will all serve as a general template in understanding any one inhabitant.
And we can see where design of information is shaping our virtual identities. Knowing someone's music library on an iTunes shared network, at some level reveal an aggregate taste in music. Closer inspection of the music reveal complex stories, compositions, styles, and other unique attributes all deemed meaningful to the individual who manages the music library.
Technology may simplify mechanistic tools in the external world (a multifunction device) but in the electronic world of data organization, the web of multiple identities only last as long as there is interaction to any of these identities. The shelf life of any one of these identities depend on the existence of data, and how that data continues to interact with others as a living breathing being. It is important that others recognize the identity as being a real person.
Otherwise we will be talking to ghosts in no time.
