Just because they could doesn't mean they should.

I seriously think about that quote all the time when it comes to the digital world. It is great that digital stuff is so easy, simple, and insanely cheap but there's no "gravity" so people make (totally) ridiculous castles in the air, massively overshare, etc. I'm polite to people but I go way out of my way to lie a little and say I'm not on social media at all. If needed - I thrown in a little rant. I'm sorry - I avoid the social media panopticonm Cousin Tom. And I'm sorry but I can't look at your 852 photos of your family's trip to the Grand Canyon. And there's video too? I almost wish I was on social media!

I'd be willing to go up to 10 (maybe 20?) of the best photos but that's it. My life span is not 1,000 years and I've got cat vids to watch.
