The photograph portrays a professional looking, well-dressed man disappearing behind his computer. Immediately, the picture brings forth an ominous feeling of the loss of identity, which is one of the main threats that technology poses to our society today. Mass automation and mechanization have made individuals utterly insignificant. The headless figure makes it easy for a viewer to imagine his or herself as the character in the scene, bringing an emotional appeal to the image.

I agree with the fact that identity theft is a major problem with alot of online use, but I do not feel as if it is the biggest. Nowadays there are so many state of the art firewalls and computer protection programs to defend your identity. The picture itself does not really portray your topic very well. It could be that you do not always know who you are talking to on or over the computer, and not so much as losing your identity. I can see the connection alittle bit though
