Bright Side of The Loss of Privacy
Although the obliteration of our basic privacy because of social media is awful to anyone who admires the true concept of freedom, there are some benefits to it. Check out this goat I saw...
Look, I never could have imagined that myself and the rest of the world would be taking pictures of everything we do and would be updating our 'friends' with all the mundane details of daily life. 'I just woke up for work', 'Now I'm going to work. Man, I'm tired', 'Now I'm AT WORK. This is boring I can't wait to go home.' .....and on and on and on.
It seemed ludicrous to me then...and it seems ludicrous to me now. But still... like most other people... I fell into the trap of posting pictures of cats....
So....what are the benefits of showcasing every single detail of our lives to our friends, acquaintances, colleagues, enemies, hackers, government officials & artificial intelligences....??
It gives you an alibi just incase anything messed up ever happens to you. Ya know...cause the Police State likes to rough up law abiding people from time to time. So, if you've got a bazillion details about yourself & timestamps all over the internet (Facebook, twitter, reddit, snapchat, steemit etc)....you've got witnesses.
It thins out the herd. If people can't manage to have a reasonable amount of etiquette online, how do you think they'll function in real life? Like....when you date them.....or hire them. By the way here's a picture of my bod....
C) It helps people focus and laern how 2 spell pr0prly. No, that was a joke.
Wait.....are there any other benefits? Forget it. Here's a picture of a Hot Dog I ate.....
This is a super hipster artsy photograph of a street sign in the Bronx.
Where was I? Oh yes......The Bright Side of The Loss of Privacy.
I was....ooohhh about 22 when I'd learned about MySpace. It blew my mind. People could put pictures of themselves on a kind of chat room AND you could have a theme song on your profile page!?! Man....How awesome was that? Then came Facebook and the rest is...well........pictures of people doing Yoga, grandmas with their grandkids, pictures of peoples cars, food, politics, people arguing and photographs of the beach. Like so.....
Don't take me the wrong way. I do love some aspects of social media....like the ability to find an audience, gain fans, discover unknown artists, keep in touch with distant friends & relatives, make money (yay steemit) etc.... but most of the time that I scroll through social media I just want to go......
...Don't you?
