Lemme Facebook You

With the avid rise of social media and technology, we are uploading bigger and bigger pieces of information about ourselves online. We all know that we have to be careful about what we say and do online because it could potentially jeopardize our careers and future opportunities yada yada yada. We also know that more corporations are beginning to google their future employees to see if they would be a good fit with the company.

Also with social networking sites like Facebook, your whole life story is plastered across that big screen and people that have stuck their noses into your life get to say something about you too. With so much information about yourself available and MORE, should we be cowering in our pants? Should we be PARANOID about what we put up about ourselves?

I think the presence of these fears and insecurities are essential to developing our society as a whole. In an ideal world, everyone should be open and aboveboard, no skeletons in the closet, what you see is what you get. The Internet takes these skeletons and spreads the bones ACROSS THE GLOBE. The internet sphere keeps no secrets.

This contributes to our society being one that is transparent and accepting. If someone is comfortable with posting objectionable content, it speaks volumes about their character and in my opinion, is actually pretty impressive. Everyone has their own set of moral values which makes us unique individuals. Not everyone can get along but honesty and transparency is best. Right? RIGHT???

Anyway, this transparency also encourages an honest society. If you’re worried about stuff about you that’s posted on the Internet, you should really think about what is going on in your real life. Maybe if you didn’t do so much weird stuff during the day, you wouldn’t have to worry about someone uploading negative content against you and have your job busted.

The world is changing. People are becoming more liberal yet informed because of the Internet. But if there is one piece of advice that I can give you on this issue, it would be:

DON’T TAKE NAKED PICS.
