"The imperative to self-knowledge has always been at the heart of philosophical inquiry," wrote MIT professor Sherry Turkle in the insightful book about the web and the self, Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet. Published in 1995 as the second part of a trilogy that examined our relationships with technology, it looked at how we are who we are in online spaces. And what that means for us offline.
The good news is that the results are positive: "Play has always been an important aspect of our individual efforts to build identity," she said, referencing developmental psychologist Erik Erikson, and nodding to the theories of psychoanalysts Freud, Lacan and Jung.

The primary reason for this constant redefinition of the boundaries of the sea is the gravitational force of the moon.
This force of lunar gravity is not as strong as Earth’s own gravitational pull, which keeps our bodies and our homes from being pulled off the ground, through the sky, and into space toward the moon.
