“Remember when people had diaries and got mad when someone read them? Now they put everything online and get mad when people don’t.” This humorous observation captures our time. Social media enables people to tell the world that they went to the best brunch place in Denver, love singing (off-tune) at Mumford and Sons’ live show, are hanging out with mutual friends (without you), and can’t stand a political candidate.
