What if the contents of our Facebook profiles wasn’t within our control?
What if Facebook automatically filled out our “info” sections with 100% accurate information? All the music we really like, not just the bands that we want to admit to listening to. Our actual favourite films, and not whatever sounds cool and credible. Our genuine interests and activities, and not just those which we think sound impressive.
What if we had no control over which pictures we were tagged in?
What if there was no way to hide or embellish things about ourselves, but Facebook simply showed us as we are. Warts and all. How different would our profiles be? And if the answer is very different, then surely they’re not really profiles of ourselves at all, but fictional inventions of people who don’t really exist?
How honest is your profile?
Is there such a thing as being too honest?
What if every time you logged into your Facebook account it updated your status with what you were really thinking?
This scares me!
careful what you wish for.
