Reflection
Through this website project, I have discovered that people present themselves differently across various platforms. Each of these expressions is truly them. People adapt their behavior based on factors such as the platform’s algorithms and its audience. During communication, language, tone, sentence structure and emojis all have a direct impact on how others understand them.
However, this analysis has a number of shortcomings. The number of platforms and cases I analysed is very small and does not represent the general situation. In the future, this research could be further developed by adding more case studies and conducting relevant interviews.
