Abstract

This study discusses the emergence of expository society in the digital age and its influence on human relationships which constitute, de-constitute, and re-constitute in online reality. The legitimacy and recognition of all applications, friendship websites, blog and online dating services and the normalization to have emotional relationships from this portals need to redefine private life and the difference between intimacy and work life. The individual becomes voluntarily much more marketised and exposed in the new digital age. Thus, a debate arises contrasting opportunities of the new technologies such as smartphones, tablets, laptops in light of their commodification factors on individuals.
