Self-Surveillance conclusion

In my sense of a private self, media still plays an important role. In fact, I think media plays more important role than of my public self. The very first moment I woke up, I checked my email. Many of us may think that this is where we can have privacy, but the truth is this can be tracked by Internet system. I can be engaged more profoundly into media via Internet, phone, or TV. Even tough I am in my public self when I am in public, I will have my private self when I open up my laptop and engage myself into it. In our daily lives, we are always involved in public gaze even at the moments we do not know. In order to mediate our lives to the society, we may need to expose our privacy to media.

One circumstance where a public persona would be useful to me was when I was doing a UCD Fashion Show on picnic day. The eyes of people, cameras, and camcorders were tracking my every little performance. I felt really good when people were watching me at the time because I wanted to boast my meaningful and beautiful moment to the public a lot better than my real life. Therefore, I try real hard to fulfill my schedule to do something good with happy face. However, tracking myself for 48 hours and being public persona was boring, tiring, and discouraging. It was little bit tough to keep going this.
