I’m sure we have all heard the age old question “if a tree falls, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?” This phrase has been edited to relay many different messages throughout the years. In this age of technology, transparency, instant gratification, and over sharing I have taken this phrase to mean one more thing.
I know we have all encountered those people on social networks that use the platform to do nothing but stunt. What I mean by stunt is basically bragging about all the exotic places they go, parties they attend, the upper echelon they rub elbows with, and money they spend. Those people sometimes do not realize they’re doing it, but I’m sure they’ve irritated their fair share of followers.
Which brings me to ask: if you don’t post it on twitter did it not happen? If you don’t post that picture on instagram does it not exist? If you don’t update friends and strangers alike on every milestone in your relationship does it not happen? With peoples lives being as accessible as they are, are there some things that are better left unshared?
