I read something some time back that essentially proposed that our digital lives are like clouds. And our ‘digital me’ acts just like clouds; some overlap into each other, some are fully formed shapes, some just wisps, some contain thunder and lightening and some contain beautiful things like snow. It’s possible that some days the skies are full of clouds and others it’s a clear blue sky with nothing going on.
I wish I could draw but I tried and it looked like a child’s drawing. Or clip art gone wrong. I could design an Olympics logo yet then.
A nice analogy that I may pursue further at some stage. I wish I could find the original.

Awesome post.
One of my favorite blogs (sweasel.com) just wrote a thing about people becoming part of online hierarchies and tribes- which is very natural and human, but what’s weird about the information age is people are beginning to relate more to their online tribes than their physical.
For instance, chances are you know someone online better than you know your closest, physical neighbor.
Weird, huh?

Thanks for the feedback. You’re right I have better relationships with people in Belgium and Boston than I do with the people I live next door too! A very different social shift to our parent’s generation. Mind you, the ones to the left of us have a wind chime that clattetrs all fackin night so I don’t speak to them on purpose.
