I am getting so bored with the way things are going on the internet.
Everyday a new app, everyday a new community, everyday a new hot trend.
And by every tomorrow, 50% are gone, 25% are yesterday’s news, and the rest sputter on for another few days. One or two will make it out, which perpetuates the whole cycle.
Everywhere I turn is a new guru, a new eBook, another revolutionary guide.
Evergreen is no longer green, and “authenticity” is now a product.
The flood gates opened and now everyone is doing it..whatever IT is this week.
But I suppose the key isn’t to look around and see all the noise, or to see the repetition, or to take note of how commercialized this once exciting democratizing communication revolution has become.
Maybe the answer is to look inward and find the things that really matter, despite what other people are talking about, even if they’re talking about the same things.
Maybe it doesn’t matter that it’s noisy because that’s just the inevitability of all of these voices. And maybe, just maybe, if we can get all of these voices tuned to the right goals, we’ll get a chorus instead of noise.
Today’s Assignment: Think about why you use the internet, and write down ONE, REAL reason. Think about one meaningful reason that you continue to spend your time wading through this digital landscape. Add it to the comments, I want to know.
