The speaker describes NIKO as everyones personality, one day you are friendly online but the next cold and ignoring. Social media shapes our identity because it creates a false sense of self. Pretending to be people who we want to be and not actually are, making the same personality. You grow into a person with no sense of self on the the fake version you curated for social media and all of you're followers to see, as if you are falsely advertising your personality.
Social media has taken a great roll in shaping my identity, especially since i grew up in an era where it was super accessible. I grew up watching you tubers, being on vine, scrolling through instagram. Me with no sense of personality or identity yet, had taken bits and pieces of my favorite role model and made them my own. I used to dress like the, talk like them, and even have some of their gestures down to the tea. This can be harmful because people can grow up and not have a sense of who they are or their own individuality. I completely agree with that is does influence you, especially since we spend so much time on our phones or watching tv. Monkey see monkey do, even if we don't know it we subconsciously follow other people. Some even become dissatisfied when their life is not of that of a famous instagram model or influencer. It has ruined our perception of a normal life or individuality as a whole. everyone just follows trends and goes along with one another. Making us have the same personality, style and even slang.
