Global Public Exposure
Everyone else is doing it in public - exposing parts of their most private selves. No, not their bodies. I am talking about the last inner refuge left to us in these media-driven, globalized times - the inner space in our heads.
Why? By nature we are gregarious - building the biggest hives our technology will allow and living almost on top of each other. For comfort or security or something. And yet, up to now, its still been very hard to guess at the inner thoughts of even our closest visible neighbour. Until blogs. Hundreds of thousands (millions?) of souls online, all pouring out their thoughts and expressing their emotions. Does anyone read them all? Will anyone care about what is written? What about this one... do I care if its read?
