Terms & Conditions is a series of books about my identities as they relate to computer mediated communication and social media. Terms and conditions are the rules that we consent to without understanding them. I feel that my engagement with social media and virtual communication in general has had a major influence on my identity that, until now, I have failed to examine. This title is also a play on the “condition” of being a digital native—someone who has grown up immersed in the Internet and technology. Through making this work, I address the terms to which I have consciously and subconsciously agreed, and create my own terms for future engagement in the virtual world.
