It's nearing my bedtime.
You know how they always say we love Facebook because it gives us an opportunity to reinvent ourselves as the people we'd like other people to view us as, and how we do it by selectively choosing what we're tagged in and what we share, be it notes, links or videos? To me, it's like a culmination of what the tech buzz has been. If you had a second chance at life, that's probably how you'd build it. With the prettiest profile picture. The most decent pictures to be tagged in. Only sharing the music you think is cool. Giving your two cents on matters and politics you want others to think you're interested in. Sharing your true emotions behind a curtain of pixels. Living the life you want to live.
But really...waking up to log in to Facebook, logging off Facebook to sleep? Is that what we're being boiled down to? It is scary.
I HAVE to stop using Facebook.
As Vanessa puts it, good night, peasants.

Very very articulate and accurate appraisal of Facebook culture there, yo. It scared me. The whole hiding behind a curtain of pixels and modifying your image to show only the awesomest parts ; that's so much of what the Internet as a whole offers, really.
And yay people are quoting me already! :D
