Intimacy doesn’t really mean sexting in this context. Its more relative to relationships you build through social media, privacy concerns you may have and if you feel in some way its more meaningful then relationships you have in real life. It could also mean your intimacy with the digital media itself, how much of yourself do you choose to share when you create your digital identity.
Digital Intimacy:
Intimacy in the digital realm is by nature a paradox. On the one hand, people use media to explore and gain intimacy (chat-rooms, second-life, facebook, we feel fine, skype) but on the other, media, by definition, is an indirect relationship between people. How are you bridging this gap? In what ways are people using media to gain intimacy with others?
