Nowadays people are posting any insignificant occurrence of their daily lives on Facebook. Everything from how time is spent with your kids to the latest image uploaded from your smart phone. What is shocking to me are the major occurrences in people’s lives which they choose to broadcast via a Facebook update.
Within the past few months, I learned about personal events including the passing of someone’s mother due to cancer and a couple with three young children deciding to get a divorce while reviewing of my Facebook feeds.
I am aware of the Internet Age, aren’t some things still sacred? Who would believe a life altering event would be announced in the same fashion on such a public platform as what you coworkers ate for lunch the other day?
I imagine the openness is a sign of the times. What if someone did not want to world to know the most intimate details of your life? Then again with all of the monitoring both online and off is anything a person does really secret? If we assumed there was something to hide would it be possible to conceal any personal indiscretion even if you wanted to?
Think of the possibilities of having everything out on the open. Maybe a kind word might come from where an unexpected source. Perhaps could use the platform to get a beef off your chest or even to get some feedback on a problem which you are experiencing.
In my view, in the age of technology we cannot believe any privacy regardless if you want to admit the facts or not. What will the next piece of unannounced information someone will choose to share with me?
