3. What does Levy mean by the term "subjectivity" when he uses it? Quote or paraphase his use of the term and, from these examples, what you think he means by it.

4. On pg. 237 of Trend, Turkle calls windows (Windows?) “a powerful metaphor for thinking about the self.” What does she mean by this? How are windows an appropriate metaphor for a postmodernist, rather than modernist, sense of self?

5. In this reading, Turkle is concerned with identity. Cite a page number and a quotation or example which you think is especially helpful in showing how one’s sense of identity can be helped or hurt through online experience. Are we helping or hurting the people who come to our Web sites (stakeholders?)->
