“Twitter, Facebook and this blog itself serve to express/exhibit myself perhaps unnecessarily at times”
I wrote that yesterday before I decided to walk to Larry’s house. I didn’t get far as he wasn’t there. But as I waited for Connie to come pick me up, I noticed how noisy our world is. If you sit beside a road, you can hear the noise between tires and the pavement. You can’t really see the stars either because of the streetlights. I am not advocating an Avatar worldview here but sometimes I feel like I do that through blogs and tweets. I make a lot of noise and add to a frantic and anxious world. I carried a flashlight. There is a bend towards overexposure and a lack of intimacy that is selective. I usually lol at the moms or 40 somethings who don’t know how to use facebook like this. Who insist on telling everything through facebook status’ and photo comments (please slow down if you are one of these) but I don’t think I would know what to do without all of these (twitter, facebook, wordpress, text messages etc.)
A few weeks ago, I left my iPhone at home and I realized the wisdom of Jeff to lent from his. If you have a data plan, they really enslave you to efficiency and connectivity. You can’t escape from how easy it is to take a picture and tweet it or how easy it is to reply a text. But sometimes I think it’d be nice to be inefficient and just enjoy a rest. Not a lazy kind of watch tv all day rest but a rest from expectations on us to endlessly create, produce and to know.
Well I think I should stop looking at iPads now.
