The above Ted Talk is talking about 3 types of digital lies. For example, the common lies we always make is "I'm on my way", "My battery flat out" and "I got to go". These could be seen as a form of excuses, and buffers, but it actually maintains relationships. The virtual world allowed us to be connected at all times, and thus its actually good to give both parties some space.

- Ppl lie subtly due to the permanence and search-ability of internet that made us lie to a lesser extent.
- Word analysis showed ppl who fake tend to use "I" more often cuz the real would describe it more spacial rather than putting yourself into it. Also, true reviews would less state the hotel name, and the activities they are doing, and high verbs and adverbs used.
- Then, online lying would set a record online, which is thus we might be able to see who are we better from these archives

Years of friendship can't last a misunderstanding, love can't last forever, trust nobody for the world is full of lies. What has the world become.
