The interwebs 3-8-13

So have you ever know those people that want to be invisible on the internet? Be it that they are paranoid or just don't have anything about them posted online. Have you ever actually Googled yourself?

I was recently surfing around and discovered that there are actually a lot of accurate pictures of me. And others that are WAY off the mark. Some of the pictures if you neglect certain aspects of my name pull up dogs with long hair and ribbon in their hair, photos form blogs, restaurant signs, and of course the results that you wonder how they are remotely related to your name. You realize just how much people are connected to the spider web of words and pictures that float in that mystery space. What if we could walk into a room full of these digital elements. I can imagine a hurricane of noise and color flying at me in what would otherwise be a shiny black room. I think that it would be a moment of utter terror and extreme awe. The rush of noise would be of horrible youtube video songs, spoken word recordings, and blasts of the music that have gone viral. The whirlwind of color would be that of lame memes, baby animals doing silly things, psychedelic colors, piles of self portraits, and political images o the most recent news. What if we had to listen and see all of that whistling by our ears every hour of every day, every minute of every hour, every second of every minute, every moment. Would it just become white noise like the faint thumb of our hearts? Would it fade into the background to a point of invisibility? Who knows... but I for sure don't know where this came from.
