Digital Dualism
Concept critiquing false separation between online and offline life. Jurgenson: augmented reality is norm—digital and physical interpenetrate. Not living dual lives but one augmented life. Critique of viewing online as less real or authentic. Facebook depression assumes online/offline binary. Digital dualism obscures how technology mediates all experience. Social media is real life. Embodiment includes digital experience. Reject cyberspace metaphor for integrated reality.
