In middle school, most of us might have blogged on Livejournal and Xanga, focusing on posts regarding our personal lives. If we weren’t talking about specific events throughout our day, we were ranting about our parents, teachers, and “anonymous” people we were angry at. And even though other people’s lives had nothing to do with our own, we soaked in this material because we were curious and we had nothing better to read.
As time goes by, our lives are complicated with technology that has allowed us to drift further and further away from reality. Every day, content is thrown at us in the masses. If you aren’t busy finishing work, you’re scrolling through the newsfeed on Facebook, watching related videos on Youtube, and reading the most popular news articles on Digg.
There simply isn’t the “time” to read about someone’s daily life on their blog anymore. Unless that content provides some sort of value to the reader, it simply becomes a filler.
A minor bump in the road that is forgotten as soon as we drive by.
Just like this post.
This is a comment to show that I noticed, even if for a brief moment.
