Where is the web taking us? Can I conclude that we as "free thinking" humans are following a trend? A trend that is throwing our minds in a vacuum thanks to Twitfuck and facekak.
I'm 23, and starting to study Law. I can't help but think that when I apply for a job, my future employer will google my name and find that I've shot my neighbors cat because I hate the name Fluffy. My privacy has been thrown out the window (like an anorexic girl gets thrown by the wind) because I've made a conscious decision (I didn't know any better) to post every little detail of my life on the web.
Social networking is no longer a "want", it's a "must". I read on the news that a guy was "Twittering" Osama's death without knowing it, and it made me think of how the web can make you a household name in an instant. Is that what we chasing? to become some sort of a hero through the web? Fuck Spiderman and Batman, a 6 Month old kid named Charlie has Millions of youtube hits because he bit his brothers finger...Twice.
Let's be honest though. It's fucking awesome. This whole networking thing rocks, as long as you are making your own choices in life and not being influenced by some high school dropout that says Democracy is wrong.
