There are a thousand tools out there for creating an online presence. That seems to be the big thing now. Having an online presence. It's inevitable. Apparently, if you're not online then you're missing out. And I don't mean being online like having access to the internet. I mean being connected to others online, creating and sharing online and having the online world know who you are. I was told recently that if you aren't on Twitter then it's too late. You've missed the boat. Twitter was only created in 2006.
It's kind of scary putting yourself out there for the whole world to see. Sure, you can limit who can see this and who access that but it kind of defeats the purpose. I don't think we are used to that kind of exposure. I don't think that we have the skill set to deal with interactions. Nobody ever taught me how to interact with some random lady from China who likes something I wrote on twitter. A faceless username. And I guess it's all kind of new. So there's no real in-depth understanding of how it affects us. I'm not sure how I feel about letting the whole world know my thoughts on how it feels to have the whole world know my thoughts. Does that make sense?
It's inevitable. I think. It's the future. We need to be careful though. We live in a world that is more connected now than ever before and we need to make sure that we present ourselves to the world in a way that not embarrass our mothers.
So here I go. My first serious attempt to connect to the world. Have an online presence. Let the random lady in China get to know me a little bit.
I'll let you know how it goes.
