In my final English class today we talked about mass media and how when people are in crowds they aren't themselves, also how this world is becoming a place where you don't live a private life anymore because everything is public.
We advertise how we are feeling, what we are wearing, where you are, what you're doing.
That kind of stuff.
I hardly posted on twitter to begin with but whilst reading twitter posts of the people I follow I noticed 90% of the posts I was reading were people complaining, talking about all the negative sides of life and their day. Why do I want to read that?
This is just my personal opinion by the way I'm not trying to convince people that twitter is a
bad thing I am just saying it's not for me.
A negative mind will never give you a positive life.
So I quit twitter.
I want to live a more private life.
Think about it, when you meet up with old friends how many stories about your life are you going to be able to tell?
I predict not many because we post everything as soon as it happens.
Chances are you won't tell that friend any exciting news because you already posted about it. They already know.
Next thing you know
We start to live and do things just so we can post about it.
I've been there.
So here is a challenge, you don't have to take it.
But fight that urge to post about what your doing and make a few memories that only you and your friends know about, have stories to tell that are more than 140 characters long.
