If you're not semi competent in how to use a computer, everyone will know everything you do. Want to listen to some music? Yeah, people will look at what you listen to. Want to play a game? Yup, people will fucking observe your game and jump in to nag you, even if you'd just like to play in peace. That's not the worst though, now people can monitor your damn location too. New tool to use in abusive relationships and creepy over protective parents.
Yep, just had to let that out.

Noone sees what I listen to or play afaik and noone knows my location, except maybe Apple in some way.
But I see what you mean. Social networking in everything, from music to gaming to doing sports to going for a drink, to eat or go on vacation, makes people behave like constantly needing to prove something to someone eventhough everyone is really just interested in themselves. Like we're beeing in this individualist kind of communist nightmare.
We're just one small step away from social rating systems, where, if you dont participate, you're out of the loop in alot of things. Got me thinking, last time, when I took an uber and had to rate the guy 5 stars. Its creeping me out aswell.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

It's sad because I see some people going under in that social pressure.
My sister in law being about 15 years younger, used to be a bright and fun kid... these days a sad sack of depression and not realising it. Becoming more and more instragram twat than the person she used to be.
So many of her age giving up their identity to try and please their 'friends'. 
To some extent that has always been true, to be accepted by the clique. But it just goes so much further than what I saw when growing up. Probably because they are always in the spotlight.

Toni is right, it's our generation that are somewhat digital natives - not as much as the younger generation - but we are the ones that saw everything evolve directly. We had the shitty modems and we know what the internet was like before Smartphones happened. We were using computers at a time when you still had to be somewhat a nerd and competent with technology and we know what games were like before microtransactions. The older people are still ignorant of course, but it's the young ones that are least aware and getting sucked in the most.

I remember during MIRC times some people were shocked that we knew their full name, now everyone just registers everywhere with every information fully visible.

its quite some work to delete the footprint i left behind, but slowly im getting there, deleting any tweets or fb or reddit posts, a dozen or so youtube comments, old mails in old accounts, nothing worth keeping, nothing good can come of it, it can only be used against u in the future, it has served its purpose, delete it all
frankly even all posts i made here eventually will all need to go from my pov, id wish forums would automaticly delete stuff after x years, unless u tell it to not delete it.

I deleted my Facebook account 6 years ago, guess what? It still remains, despite me going through it with a fine tooth comb, deleting all info & pics, deleting everything, closing account, but it still remains.
The only reason I know that, is because someone else told me so, although very little to be seen, it still remains, and a few pics. 
Yeah.

He is right, I am old enough to remember no home computers , internet or mobile phones, it was great fun being a kid as you could go out and stay out all day getting up all sorts of shit.

What pisses me off, is how they treat the elderly in all this.
My grandfather is 93 and is largely self-sufficient together with my grandmother but so much of life has become tied to computers that they feel imprisoned. Banks being greedy cunts have removed their counters so if you enter a bank you no longer see anyone to talk to. You see a row of machines. Want help? Tough luck, you need to make an appointment online or call them and go through 20 steps from a computerised menu before you can actually talk to someone who will then make an appointment with you so you can go to the bank to be allowed inside to.
And then we have health care. You enter the hospital and on the floor are coloured lines. No counters here either. A row of machines. You need to insert your passport, go through a menu and a tiny little ticket is printed which says where you need to go and what line to follow. A flock of bewildered elderly are always to be seen around these machines and helpful younger people are constantly helping them. All to save money, all to reduce personnel. Always at the detriment of the elderly who need help the most. It's fucking disgusting. It's perfectly possible to marry the two systems but don't take away the counters you greedy pricks.
All of this is the result of cut backs due to increasing costs mainly from mass immigration and then Greta the immature ignorant cunt (who is pro-immigration like her parents) wants us to increase costs even more! It's not the rich who will suffer, it will be more cost cutting for the elderly, the poor, the unemployed.

actually, franky i think a machine is better then a human, ive seen countless times how bank employees try to rip off elderly people when they were asked questions about loans or financial advice, and these days all u need is a smartphone with the right apps, if kids can do it, so can elderly, just teach them and dont keep doing it for them , cause they get lazy and expect u to do it for them. They become like kids again the older they get , u need to adapt to that and teach them like u would teach a kid, making sure they practice and do it themselves. or they wont learn
increase the font size, make sure they have a sim card with a limited internet , and they are all set. If they too stubborn to learn ... whatever , i bet u they reading all the newspaper drama shit tough in the tiniest font
