@Asakura53 Nope. Web isn't any different than a library or bookstore. I don't feel overwhelmed in any of these places, and I'm from the waaay before Web 2.0 era. Yes, there's a lot of information in all three places. No, there's no chance I'll have the time, means, or desire to read and parse it all.
The way we get our information has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. The amount of information, and our lack of time and inclination to take it all in, has not changed.

I would argue a little differently from what Clay said. Nobody was completely overwhelmed by visiting a library or bookstore. The web is different. The rate of change in society is moving too fast for most people (even the most tech-savvy) to manage properly. Now we are awash with Web 2.0 craziness, but how much of it is actually useful or beneficial to our lives and relationships? Its time to re-evaluate information technology and its applications in society. Not all "change" is progress.

@kenricashe EXACTLY. The Facebook Privacy "Filters" were INTENTIONALLY BROKEN. Most users assumed that their messages and profiles would be restricted to their local campus friends. Then came feeds which broadcasted your every move to the world. To maintain privacy, one had to "opt-out" of changes to the terms that changed w/o notice. Again, this is was done on purpose, once they had enough users buy into facebook. Now we are seeing the same being done with the Google/Youtube/Android Platform.

I think we actually can blame facebook for not setting the privacy selections OFF by default, as most people I'm sure would assume they should be.

That was a 20 minute explanation as to why Google is a verb.

"15 Years - Reading the SAME story" - - Excellent.
Nice reminder that we don't need to read every damn thing about every subject, or even within our own niche interest.
