A digital identity is refer our presences in the internet. Such as our picture, our introduction, profile with basic information and everything we have leave in the internet. When I create my digital identity in social media platforms, I present myself  as someone who are kindly, easy to stay with. I usually share the content relate to the traveling and my hobbit, to find the people who are similar to me and build the personal relationship with him. By sharing the content relate to my personal life, I kept my attention with the privacy. I will pay a lot of tension to make sure that the content I put into online won’t shows any thing relate to my important information, such as address, birthday and personal numbers. For conclusion, I believe that create a positive but secured personal identity online is very important and fun. I will try to find the people who have same hobbit with me, and tried to build a network but keep my privacy safe!

The personal VS professional approaches to digital identity would mainly affect the contents in social media. The personal approaches would lead to more content relates to his daily life, memorable life milestone such as graduation. The professional approaches will be more related to the maintain the professional picture. From my point of the view, the personal approach to the digital identity would create an impression of kind, interesting personality with attracting people to build the network with, the content will more fun, more memorable and more personalized. The professional approach would lead the digital identity to be more reliable in the relevant field of the working. To build the trust relationship with the partners and customers to create the condition of successful.

When we talking about how to having the personal and professional digital identity complement rather than conflict, the idea in top of my head is make sure the content is not conflict with each other, such as the profession defined by the professional identity can not be conflict by the personal identity. Since I haven’t getting into a professional career yet. One of the example I would like to talk about, is one time I have seen a person who is about the be a chief in a restaurant, he made a professional Instagram account to introduce his skill and the dishes. But on his personal account, he was talking about he hate one of the dishes because he thought it look very weird. This accident almost destroyed his reputation because people believe he is not respecting the food and his profession. which make he leaved the field. Maybe this is a bad example, but the idea I would like to express is, it is important to make sure that the idea of value, motive and define of the professional must not conflict between personal and professional digital identities.
