Explore the intersection of technology and identity

Does technology cause a shift in how we perceive our relationships and ourselves?

To find the answer, global communications leader Alcatel-Lucent commissioned an extensive research study. Subjects crossed geographic, generational, socioeconomic, and cultural boundaries. Hundreds of hours of documented observation and interviews with real people led to the fascinating conclusions in these pages. While technology will never define us, this study reveals how profoundly it influences the way we define ourselves.

The 3-P Model of Identity
Presentation: The Mirror Image
Protection: Exposing the Blind Spots
Preference: The (Un)Conscious Filter of (In)Finite Choice

The Universal Laws
The Law of Learned Helplessness: Failure Is the Only Option

The Law of Recall: Taking It from the Top
Rationalization: Finding Harmony in the Discord

Emerging Adulthood: In Search of the Ideal

Who Are We Becoming?
