CONNECTED_IDENTITY.
Picture images both on the cover page and color pages are a
new message called CONNECTED_IDENTITY from Sony: to
connect people worldwide over the Net.
It is a message demonstrating the potentiality that all of us
around the globe can be connected with one another over
networks.
The message is never fixed but is ever changing like a living
creature. It is always interacting with people. It is always open.
This represents exactly the way Sony does business.
The CONNECTED_IDENTITY can be accessed by anybody over
the internet. When you access and interact with the
CONNECTED_IDENTITY, you will change the message herein.
The message continues to be changed through access by people
around the world.
In some countries, a piece of imagery will be sliced off from the
changing image base to be shown in the ending part of each of
the different versions of Sony's TV commercials.
Consequently, each of those TV commercials has a different
ending. At the same time, it is both the message of Sony and the
message of the people who are being connected over the Net.
From this site, you can make changes to the
CONNECTED_IDENTITY.
First, please start by connecting to the CONNECTED_IDENTITY.
