[Case]
It is often hard to tell which of us is writing.

[SA]
Who is "us writing"?  Who are the "us" specifically?

[Arlo]
A better question is "Who am we?". Sherry Turkle may have part of the answer for
you, SA.

To whet your appetite...

"The self is no longer simply playing different roles in different settings at
different times. The life practice of windows is that of a decentered self that
exists in many worlds, that plays many roles at the same time." Now real life
itself may be, as one of Turkle's subjects says, "just one more window."
