In the Visitor/Resident video lesson, Dr. Dave White outlines the principle of people’s presence and motivation on the Internet. Whereas visitors drop by and are concerned with leaving no trace of their visit and no social persona, residents carve out a space to “live” online and are social, visible and communal in their use of the Internet. I found this video and the principle it details very interesting, and could not help but start to sort my friends and family members into either the visitor or resident label. Not surprisingly, most people I could think of are those I would label as Internet residents.
