Social Life 2.0
July 9, 2009 9:42 pmSocial Life 2.0
Or a fad of the modern ego
Am I just being silly
Or is there a valid warning
A new frontier of possibility
Or the same old lie of technology
Broadcast a thought immediately
Or miss the chance for intimacy
Organized threads of efficiency
Or forget how to dialogue meaningfully
Every moment captured visually
Or is every picture meant for all to see
Life shared whimsically
Or cheapened with flippancy
Distant friendships tingle with activity
Or do fleshly neighbors retain anonymity
Share the spotlight equally
Or disenfranchise others’ dignity
Business finds a fertile new campaign
Or do friendships become network marketing
Our lives joined with cyberspace
Or no attention left for shared space
No need to ever again be lonely
Or is solitude avoided perpetually
Thank Zuckerberg for a new context of community
Or should we look to old Wendell Berry
