WHATS THERE DOESNT EVEN MATTER

In a sense I am glad that I am writing this blog entry after today's discussion in class because it really made me think even more about the essay. I really began to think about the fact that Klosterman says that certain information isn't necessarily important because the content is well written or amusing but because the content is there. Like I said earlier today in class I think the fact that information, in this case being social networking, blogs, websites, TV shows and everything else we are faced with everyday, are always available and in virtually one spot makes it so appealing to us. I think that saying that we are addicted to seeing into peoples lives is a cop out to our addiction of the internet and technology. I think that since content is there we have the need to look at it even though we really aren't taking it in. Its funny, people look at way more information today then they ever had in the past but in such short intervals, so really what is coming out of this intake of, what some would say, irrelevant bullshit . Because we live in such a fast paced world we are never really learning anything. We aren't reading anything well written (well, most of us) and we are just browsing the world skimming everything and anything “learning so much” but not really caring. In the end realizing that nothing really means anything. Therefore nothing is remembered and nothing REALLY benefits the everyday person. I guess this sounds confusing and depressing but I guess thats the theme of the day.
