Deborah Hefter, one of the partner/owners at Envelopments, emailed me this comment in answer to our earlier post about pictures on Facebook. Hadn't thought about Facebook turning everyone's life into a reality show, but it's so true.
"Andy Warhol once said "Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Little did he know that with the Public Forums of Facebook, Twitter and Video chatting, that anyone can now have their own reality TV shows going 24/7.
It is an interesting dilemma, this mash up of social graces and technology, I would imagine that etiquette books will continue to re-write passages to include all these new mediums. The question is, how do we now control our own preference for what is made public and what is reserved for our families and closest friends. Will future invitations need to include a non-disclosure agreement?"
The Envelopments blog is always good reading - the owners and designers all post and there are many points of view: http://blog.envelopments.com
