What does this film have to say about the ways we construct our identity through modern technology?

After watching catfish, I think that by using modern technology such as the internet it has become very easy to;
- create false identities. for example, when anyone joins social networking sites anyone can claim they are someone when they aren't.

- (As Angela did) she created many facebook accounts, all with different pictures of random people.

- It can make false relationships. People might think they know someone, when in reality, they don't really know wether they are who they claim to be.

- (as in Catfish) it can make it seem to be okay to create a false identity as eventhough Angela got found out they was no real consequence for her actions.
