On the serious...

Im just curious as to how many times I, we, everyone, checks their email/myspace/facebook a day. It has to be something crazy like 20 or more times a day, on days allotting time for such superfluous checking. This just struck me as odd because I too check my internet homes often and began to notice the daily regulars and their times of self lurkery. Thats right, self lurkery. Our society has deemed it okay to lurk oneself. I think it is necessary for self descovery, but to continually update yourself and your identity souley to attract attention to an otherwise empty life is simply brilliant on our corporate/independent leaders part. We have all easily fallen into the process of becoming digital and diagnosed by our own peers. Check and make sure your status is reflecting the TRUE you, and that your "about me" is actually what you are about. Please do not be vague, interesting, funny, kind, cool, aloof, anything...its more attractive to keep yourself in the box and at arms leangth with the latest trends, it could really bail you out if ever there was a class war; because class, as it used to be, is dead. 

The children out there are growing with their face on the internet from day one. Parents are showing them off on their "space", they are shoving their unknowing children into the den of decadent judgment without the child even being aware of his own toes. This is a slander to the idea of human connection. Sure, we can sit in front of a computer and "connect" with our peers and others at the stroke of a few keys, but can we even imagine the thought of human connections beginning without these boxes we stare into. Its hard I know.
