From this point , I started to look into Identities on Modern Society , and how technology (Social Media) has affected directly and indirectly into human Identity. I've seen a great opportunity to keep pushing my idea into this directions, which surprisely is all well connected.
One of the most relevant sources I have found so far would be "Alone Together " by Sherry Turkle ,professon of the Social Studies of Science and Technology in Massachusetts institute of Technology. It has been a great discovery not just for my essay, but to a modern knowledge level too. The book is a compilation of loads of interviews with different people through her whole life, which later on she will use for write the book. In "Alone Together" the spectrum of topics is big ,although always under the same theme Technology/Society. Identity for instance, is one of the approaches that took my attention as it is related to Sigmund Freud's. Im really interested ,from a social point of view, how she compares their study subjects with the technology aspect that humanity rely on everyday.
I think this book will help me with the triangulation on my essay
