According to the chapter 6 of the Socialnomics book, many people have a different persona such as social, work, and college. Some act different at work then they would with friends. The reason this is because there work can be very professional and outside of work you can relax and have fun. But social media has allowed many to be themselves at work as well as with their friends. If you are friend with people as work on any social media website they can see what you do by what you post and some act the same outside of work so it make not be a shock to whatever that person does outside of work. The way that person acts outside of work maybe because they are letting off steam and or leave work at work and not worry about it after you get off.
Some people like to engage in social games, many like the virtual world. I don't know about anybody else but I am constantly getting Farm Ville request to join the virtual work. However that is not for me. Many play these games on the go and some games are like life, you get a job earn money buy things. It simulates life, and many like to play the game on there phone. The book says that people play when they don't have much to do.
Over all this chapter was interesting to learn a little more about the games and why people play and why many people have different persona. I am not one to act differently inside work then outside work. I am not a gamer and never really understood why people want to play, but everyone is different.
