The internet is a lie and it is truth, who is truthful and who is lying? We can never have honest conversations on the internet, but so too can we never have truly honest conversations in person, cause we never know fully what the other person is thinking. Now should we be truthful, I think that there are so many people on the internet that the ones who aim to find your information to use for their own benefit may never get to you. If they do and you are the truthful one then it sucks to be you. I would say that like our personal dealings we should be honest and truthful or the internet is nothing more than millions of lies, but be careful about telling people much about where you live and what your bank account pin number is. We have just begun to give birth to this new collective creature and we need more discussion like this because our amazing brains have created this gift, yet our sick and twisted brains are using it for some pretty perverted purposes. |
So how open are you?
I would like to say that yes there is a lot of nasty stuff 'out there', but then there is also a lot of great stuff, like the Pavlina sites and forums.
I like the being famous analogy. Famous people have much of their lives available to anybody who wants it, many times beyond the comfort zone too.
In that way, I'm glad to have a choice, and I just reveal the info I like myself. Sensitive data is treated as such, just as you would otherwise, but it's mostly who I am that I don't mind sharing.
Maybe that's something more people get comfortable with, considering the ginormous number of blogs out there..
