Living in the public eye by choice
By Haley M. Walker | gargoyle@flagler.edu
At one point our lives behind closed doors, were just that: behind closed doors, where no one could see what our favorite television show was or an embarrassing ritual that we had to perform before going to bed.
However, all that has changed, and we have become a society of intrigued watchdogs. Through increased communication technology, we have learned to not only closely watch the lives of others, but to record the detailed lives of ourselves as well.
Why is it that we have become so consumed with making information that was once so personal so incredibly public?
