Sometimes when we’re alone, we come across something that stops us in our tracks: a poster that raises your eyebrow, a mug with a funny quote that’s perfect for your bestfriend, or a used condom right in the middle of the street. There’s that feeling of wanting to share this with someone.
Thirty years ago, you’d either wait until you see whoever you want to share it to, or wait until you find a phone.
Twenty years ago, you had the option to send a terse message via a pager.
Ten years ago, you were able to send it instantly from your mobile.
Now, with a couple of taps and clicks, you can send it for all the world to read, see, or even hear.
The way we disseminate information now is almost instantenous and can reach a much wider audience. The question now is — do people really want to know about it?
