Scenario
Digital technology provides platforms for individuals to express and explore their identities in creative ways. Ross, Kristina, Samantha, and Nate—the Brown family—are avid users of various social media platforms and digital communication tools.
They utilize Facebook accounts for staying connected with distant family and friends, while Samantha and Kristina have ventured into Instagram to share glimpses of their lives. Samantha, particularly drawn to popularity, has immersed herself in TikTok, constantly creating content to maintain her online presence. In her pursuit of popularity, Samantha’s digital identity seems to have evolved, diverging from her original persona.
The Browns are no strangers to digital slang and communication trends. While Samantha and Nate engage in texting using internet slang and abbreviations that sometimes baffle Ross and Kristina, Kristina herself has adapted by incorporating emojis into her emails and texts to stay current with digital communication trends.
