The Oversharing Generation

I belong to the Oversharing Generation.

Twitter, Facebook, *ahem* blogging.

For the first time, human beings are essentially telepathic. For a person with the right technology whose friends are similarly connected, almost any thought can be shared between friends, regardless of their location and almost regardless of their activity, often without needing to ask. Only a glance is needed to stay in touch, even over long distances. Only the thoughts that are offered are shared. How is this not beautiful?

There is always plenty of lament over the ugliness of every new technological innovation and cultural adaptation. "Jazz is going to corrupt our children." "Electrical appliances will make us weak." "The telegraph will kill the poetry of the written word."

Neophobia is so BORING!!!
