You Are Not My Friend
Yes, we're on Facebook. But I don't care about your cat. And stop poking me.
Anyway... juz wanna highlight the gist of the whole blether...
Old people are always worrying that our blogging and personal websites and MySpace profiles are taking away our privacy, but they clearly don't understand the word privacy.
We're not sharing things we don't want other people to know. We're showing you our best posed, retouched photos. We're listing the Pynchon books we want you to think we've read all the way through. We're allowing other people to write whatever they want about us on our walls, unless we don't like it, in which case we just erase it.
If we had that much privacy in real life, the bathrooms at that Minnesota airport would be empty.
Haha... how does that work out for you?
