In this day an age, my attitude is probably not the norm. The newest individuals of our society grow up expecting instant gratification and thinking that the goal in life is to be a celebrity. People have no sense of privacy, no appreciation for what is to live the life you have rather than intruding upon everyone else's. Somehow people have learned to equate importance with having people who want to know what you're doing every minute of the day.
I understand everyone's need to feel important, but I think it's just another reason our culture is spiraling downward. While there is a minority who strive to do justice, to share the wealth, etc., the media and big business are shaping people's behavior towards selfish ideals. Reality shows, professional sports, every special interest group creates a sense of entitlement. Being outrageous, unethical, greedy are all perceived as okay because celebrities openly behave this way without any remorse, guilt, or shame.
I digress from my original topic... . I think social media allows for a lot more learning, more expression, more creativity. But my point is that while I think there are great things about the modern communication, there lacks of sense of boundaries.
