1. Internet has changed communication because now messages and posts can be instantly sent to social media and each other

2. Immediacy is when you post something or send a message and it’s instantly there. Permanence is when a message or a post is posted, it’s always gonna be there. Lack of control is when a post online is posted and it spreads fast without your control. Immediacy, permanence and Lack of Control affect online and offline identities because immediacy makes it so that it's instantly sent so you could have acted off of impulse but you sent it and you can't stop it. Permanence affects our lives inside and outside of the internet because once you post it, it’s there forever and it cannot be taken down so it can ruin your life.

3. You can manage your identity by thinking before you post and have passwords saved on a secure password saver account

4. The internet itself does not have laws because no one can put a rule on the internet. You can however put a rule on websites within the internet

Donald Sterling was the owner of the Los Angeles clippers since 1981. But in 2014 there was video leakage of him saying racist remarks against black people. The leakage spread fast and became top stories on sports networks. Donald Sterling could not stop it from spreading either. It seemed that the video of him was on every website. This was an example of lack of control because he couldn't control how much it spread.

  To this day, if you went on the internet and looked up the Donald Sterling scandal, you can still find the video. Nothing he can do can take the video off the websites. This shows how permanence played into him. His reputation is forever ruined because it's always going to be online.  

  He couldn't stop it from being posted because it happened too fast. He never would expected his life to be ruined too fast but that's what happened. Immediacy played a huge role in this because he could have stopped it before it went online if immediacy was not a problem.
