I Share therefore I Am

Privacy isn't sexy. If you can snap a picture of your privates and Tweet it, pin it, post it, regram, vine, snapchat or spam what your mama gave you to your friends, fans and followers, then why wouldn't you? That's what technology is for isn't it?

Steve Jobs spent his formative years developing the equipment to help humanity unleash its inner exhibitionist.

If I'm not confronted by a celebrity dick pick, nip slip or not-so-shocking sex tape on a daily basis, then I would be lost and confused.

And in a society where our values are based on Hollywood morality, we're all encouraged to show it all off by every means possible. Over sharing your life through all of the ways that our phones, laptops, apps and wearable tech enables us to do so is very tiring.

Maintaining a 24/7 social media persona is nearly impossible. Even those who started out with an innocent blog have developed into mini-dotcomglomerates. Bloggers have agents, publicity teams and an assistant with an assistant in their lives now.

It's not all negative.

The upside of oversharing is the ability to communicate in quick and simple terms. There's no longer a need to explain over and over again how I got drunk last night and passed out on the sidewalk on the corner of 23rd and 3rd to all of my friends across the world. All they have to do is to just look at my friend's Instagram feed, where he tagged me and my vomit in a photo before helping my drunk ass get home.

Through our oversharing, we've also learned to hone our skills to judge quickly and efficiently. Social media allows us to get a LinkedIn bio of a person who's about to join our work team, an idea of what they look like on Facebook, and a sense of what their lives are like based on their Instagram and Pinterest boards. Some apps even give you a preview of their privates and sexual predilections to help you decide if you're a match or not. This alone saves you three months of heavy petting and boring uneventful dates.

Heck, technology also accounts for more couples falling in love, getting married and consciously uncouple all through Skype. That has to count for something.

We're all getting closer together one device at a time.

YES
Narcissism in small doses can be healthy and lead to long careers in television that leads to marrying a semi-talented rapper.

NO
Narcissism in large doses is obnoxious. And because of this, it is socially acceptable for me to hate you on the message boards.

MAYBE
You don't own a mirror or any smart devices. Good for you. We will never cross paths.
