There has been a influx of information overload in my life. Social networking drags my hand along different channels, spoon feeding me things I don't necessarily need to read. So much information passes in front of people's eyes, which is constantly being updated by the minute. What is the value of that information if it just gets lost in the digital space?
Everything in moderation, right? That reason alone has justified leaving Facebook. There is so much value in time and brain-space that is wasted by aimlessly browsing through Facebook. I have noticed that I am reading and consuming so much information that it has become difficult to retain what is important. Consider it online suicide. I will be non-existent to many people once deleting my profile tonight. Those I barely keep in contact with can wonder what I am doing instead of actually knowing, as if walking with an air of mystery. It is liberating.
Twitter will satisfy my digital cravings for now.
"What good is knowledge is it just floats in the air? It goes from computer to computer. It changes and grows every second of every day. But nobody actually knows anything."
