Identity

Who are we?

Are we tweets? Who cares what we are doing at 3:37... 3:43... 4:28...?

Are we blogs? Your opinion matters, your story matters... Right?

What is all this information we post saying about who we are?

Psychologically we want to be accepted – by someone – but who are they?

Is your identity sacred to you, do you even exist on the internet? Have you removed yourself from living so much you can only define who you are by your posts? I want to be known for my ideas, for my vision for my unstoppable voracious hunger for life, not for my, my schedule... my daily routine. 

It's networking you say. Well so are churches, so are chambers of commerce, so are associations, SO IS SCHOOL. We spend all this time telling one another everything at all hours of the day, what is there to say when you get face time? 

"Did you read my blog? Well everything that has happened to me since we last met was posted there, go check it out and follow me..." 

Who has that kind of time?

Are we really dooming ourselves to Idiocracy: to a future as seen in Pixar's Wall-E, where ROBOTS we create have more passion for life than our future lazy-ass society.

Communication is Key to any relationship. I realize you would never have that friend in another country who lives another lifestyle, yet shares the interests you do. Our world needs to share information, about rights, freedom, religion. We need to communicate with our neighbors. Why else would the President-Elect Obama want to carry his Crack-Berry into the Whitehouse? I know we need to communicate, but don't do it at a cost of having social relationships with those around you. Put down the phone when you are with your friends and family. IT CAN WAIT!!!
