This is just a portion of what the possible structure of the website where the user can move from node to node, looking at how the person's life is codified, ultimately, to see how the technology creates a network of the virtual self, a data double or what Mark poster calls 'data identities', David Lyon sums it up:
Lyon: 'The more 'postmodern' versions of surveillance theory, as Staples says, underscore technology-based, body objectifying, everyday, universal kinds of surveillance. To review these: the technolgies make surveillance emnable to automation and place increasing reliance upon the data-double or the virtual self. [...] As new sorts of surveillance seep into all life-spheres, some engage in self surveillance of quite precise and systematic kinds. Think of keep-fit fanatics, for instance, who constantly check times, pressures weights and trates, or of the ways which some women use scales, body-fat indicators and colorie charts in forms of low-level self-surveillance (Bordo 1993)
