Social Networks Are Forever - Beware, Is the Appropriate Label Warning
We all know by now that one needs to be careful what they say or do online.
You cannot say something that isn't politically correct otherwise your reputation could get tarnished.
Thus, people only put up what is politically correct, and this is driving our society into same'ness and that is a shame because it makes us assimilate into a mindless Borg of Beehive of humanity, meaning no single individual is valuable anymore - for it is now the whole that matters and with everyone thinking and acting alike.
Let's talk.
You see recently, I was talking with an acquaintance who was actually relieved that I was not doing anything major online when it came to social online networks.
She thought about how was rather ironic, seeing as I am a prolific writer, but it also gave her a little solace because she doesn't join in media "friends" programs either.
She also doesn't have time to "chat" because she is busy doing what she has real passion for.
I say good for her and she isn't missing out on anything.
Then I explained further my thinking on this new Internet phenomena - yes, these social networks are somewhat superficial.
And I am not so sure they are even wise considering the "forever" issues of whatever one puts online.
Imagine in past periods if these social networks existed and you found your government coming after you for something you said 20-years ago taken out of context.
Things people said in previous times would be ruinous to their careers today, even if they were the standard thought of the time in that region of the world.
Heck, I am only 50 years old right now, and if life extension medical technologies are only half of what is expected, I may as well add on another 50+ years, imagine that could be 150 years old or 100 years from now, who knows what people will be thinking then - considering what they've thought before.
And yes, too much frivolousness online is truly a waste of time - I could be writing, thinking, researching or doing something and you could be painting something magnificent! My acquaintance also noted that she didn't want to put her friends or family onto social networks, as that wasn't what she was about.
Yes, I agree, and it can be unfair to those friends and family who are private folks.
I have been posting interesting information I find online on Google+ but I have not been adding friends, associates or anything like that.
I put up my articles to help the world find them based on their interests, but that's about it.
I like Google+ because for me it is like a giant digital bookmark - easy to find the stuff I've already read or viewed online and nice if others might want to read those things based on their interests too.
Please consider all this and think on it.
