One of my buddies chuckled about a press release that the company he worked for, gave in 1998. The Press Release goes on to quote him, that he was mandated to give email to everyone.
The Big Machine(Internet) is like the Elephant in remembering things. Though, my buddy did not have too much control over such a message, we in this Social Media times have control over what we choose to share.
One has to be careful about what video we upload in YouTube, the tweets and what information we give out in Facebook and so forth.
After a few years of active sharing, the Johari Window about people's personal life is likely to be closed and would be open only a tad bit. But,there is one trend which is unlikely to be reversed, i.e., the connected consumption part.
i.e., sharing about the books you liked, the movies you enjoyed, the youtubes you laughed about, the pithy quotes, the TED Video you resonated with, ...the list is endless.
Boiling this connected consumption slivers, into meaningful patterns would make this great big machine into a perpetual consumption machine.
They taught us in Elementary School that, the water we consume is what the Dinosaurs drank way back, due to the Water Cycle. Similarly this perpetual consumption machine needs a personal information cycle, to discover new content from other people's information cycle and deliver us pure content forever.
