    Re: Ephemeral Conversation Is Dying

    It’s one of those things though … someone who is not well versed in things web, social media, etc, is more trusting. They will see the input field asking for their real name and not even think of lying. They will have been honest and put their real name in, so they’ll assume everyone else does too.

    The implication of honesty is implicit in the use of a forename and surname, as opposed to your average forum with it’s usernames/nicknames/handles/whatever.
    The interval between birth and death is fractal. Any given moment is infinitely deep and rich, and therefore one lifetime is quite enough for me.

    I think its perhaps a little more complex then that, trust on the internet is currently the burdgeoning cutting edge (hows that for a mixed metaphor ) of internet related psychology. Here theres a social judgement theory PhD in there somewhere... hmmmmmmmmmmm...

    All those emails were for you? I thought I was just giving off virtual pheromones.

As a result people's responses are partially removed from what they'd actually say, whether that be due to the abridging things for speed or because they have the opportunity to re-read and edit their thoughts before publication - blurting something out on the internet isn't as likely as it is in a face to face conversation.
    Personally, I find that my conversational charm is lessened greatly by the fact I cannot spit all over whoever I'm speaking to when merely typing my response. It's not fair.

    Trying to remember whether anything was posted/sent/texted while drunk the night before is also quite an unsettling experience.

    I make the smallest effort to insure that my speech on here is true to my real-world conversational tone.

    Otherwise its just me, which is apparently rare enough that people continually point it out.

    I'm definitely gonna pay for some of the things I've said on here in later life. The internet will be serious business some day.

    Re: Ephemeral Conversation Is Dying

    It's also possible that people will just end up treating whats written down on the internet as ephemeral Conversation. When us folks that can remember when there weren't no t'internet are vastly outnumbered by a generation thats grown up with it then it's perhaps more plausable that rather then people being guarded about what they type they will be more willing to accept that peoples views and opinions are subject to change. That things people type, in informal contexts, are not actually all that important. That to my mind does seem a more likely consequence - of course it does mean that a likely knock on effect would be people becoming far less concerned about what public figures say in private or outside of the auspices of their public roles.

    Of course, things like resource poverty and economic decline could always mean fewer people have access to the internet in the future and it's purpose changes again.

    Or that might just happen naturally - sharing of lives may peak now/in the near future and our kids might prefer privacy.

    That’s what the New Yorker article I mentioned was all about. The fact that kids who’ve grown up with the web already feel that way.

    Nah, that’ll be a minor cult … like the ‘true love waits’ kids in Bible Belt America right now. Or straightedge.

    Re: Ephemeral Conversation Is Dying

    I find it important to be just as self-absorbed and conceited online as I am offline. I'm possibly somewhat more circumspect online than I am in real life. I swear less online, usually. Since I work in a call center I frequently talk little nothings. Why do it when I'm not being paid?

    Edge is great if you can go out and speak to people without having to drink in order to become somewhat less of a introvert.
