Forget Privacy

What makes people want telling everybody what they are doing now? Sites like twitter.com where users tell others what nobody wants to know, Justin Kan's website of his daily life where he virtually shares everything that happens to him make even bloggers writing about themselves just a back number.

Consistent to this, a report compiled by the Accelerating Studies Foundation describes the Metaverse as a digital wonderland, where all kind of electrical 3D-gadgets do the total immersion and users are writing their lifelogs. Their roadmap consists of all the geeky buzzwords you've ever heard of.

This doen't push my button. I don't want to tell everybody what I'm thinking now. I want to reflect on my thoughts and to present them in an ordered manner. I don't want to look at a video instead of remembering things that were important to me. I sometimes want to forget things that were not that convenient and especially I don't want to see other's unreflected thoughts.

Does the Metaverse make the world a better place? Do we learn more about ourselves or is it just another escapism toy that constrains our view of us? (Source)
