How Much Are You Willing To Share About You

We share so much personal babble about us on so many social networks. The internet has become the marketer’s dream, if one knows how to use it in one’s interest.

We’ve started to shed the clothes of anonymity, thinking that the Internet will give us at least a small amount of fame. Those 15 minutes of fame, at least. Or 15 MB of fame, if we move the whole thing online.

I am witnessing – as we all do – a complete renunciation of privacy in favor of a weird transparency that on the long run will affect our relationships, whether they are professional, love or family relations. We’re in a fast-forward medium that also allows us to skip moments. We only want the start and the end, forgetting about what’s in-between.

We share pictures on Facebook, let the whole world know we’re in a relationship with another Facebook user, tweet about things that a decade ago were considered intimate.

That’s why I am asking you: where are we heading? What’s the future of “sharing” and how does the current state affect us on the long run?

    We will learn some how to balance our public and personal life and control ourselves as good as we dolets say in public transportation.

    Those are the effects of “de-christianisation”-renouncing our mysteries , our naked arses presented in public , showing that we have everything –and nothing…In conclusion : the ” Big Brother Effect “( see “1984″ novel , written by orwell–great intuition ) . People are sick of communism dictatorship , but are borrowing another form of dictatorship from the West …
