Anthropology in Practice: Is Farmville Making Us More Neighborly?


Farmville and digital identity!

As we know when people started to use facebook "Farmville" became most popular game around the world. A lot of people set their farm on internet it means digital technology created a lot of "farmers". You trade with someone even you dont know. You can write your name on your farm. All these things actually I believed that changed the social identity as well. For example in the history cotton represent black slavery, cheap workers. But now new generation sitting on computer and owning a "Farm". In this project I tried to explorer how the digital techonolgy reflects our social life and especially social identity.
