Episode 263 | How Digital Culture Erodes Our Identity with Patricia Martin
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Patricia Martin, cultural analyst, researcher, and speaking about how digital culture erodes our identity. We start the conversation by discussing Patricia's book Will the Future Like You? Reflection on the Age of Hyper-reinvention; what it is about and what inspired her to write it. We discuss how constantly being online erodes our identity and Patricia discusses three forces upending the development of identity - persona fog, chronic self-doubt, and cascading crossroads. We discuss the concept of hyper-reinvention and how it disconnects us from the core of who we are, in addition to how the cyber world leads to self-alienation. We end the discussion by Patricia sharing some of the things we can be doing to help ourselves identify who we really are in this digital culture.
