Reminds me of some of Jaron Lanier's words.jacob wrote:Earlier generations do not have much identity/relation tied up online. They're users. No interaction.

"I don't think you're doing anything wrong. If you're 17 you're caught up in reputation maintenance in a way that's really unhealthy. You have to constantly be on guard. It's like you're running for office. The degree to which you have to be on guard is so total and so clinically precise that you're not given any off-time to try another persona."
You Are Not a Gadget is an interesting read, btw.
