Well thank you for the kind words. I think you’re onto something in that social media gives those with a lot of drama a louder voice to share that drama. I prefer to share quietly with an occasional growl now and then.

You should check out ‘Black Mirror,’ a well-done British TV mini-series about technology, how over-connected we are and where it could take us in the near-future. Each episode is like a technology-centric Twilight Zone. Very realistic and scary! Makes me want to go off the grid…

Sometimes i ask myself if social media in general nurtures an exponential growth in the ability of people to perceive their lives as a non stop drama (“Oh my God! I have run out of tooth paste! My life is doomed!”) or if it has just provided a means of expression of a drama who was already there and can have a voice…
i think people tend to like to believe in wathever they read, especially if it’s bad news, so they can make a fuss about it and share it with their own friends… Sometimes all this shallow drama gets a bit on my nerves and makes me more insensitive when a real deama occurs.
And here i am, complaining about people who complain…
The thing is, i truly value people who use social media to share their lives a succession of little epiphanies. And that’s why i am a big fan of your blog. For me it kind of epitomizes this positive use of the media i cherish.
