I enjoyed perusing Robert Wright’s NY Times article “Sex and the Digital City” last week – especially as it focuses on the timely subject of societal trends in an increasingly transparent age and in parallel a seemingly increasing transparent morality.
Friends of mine who have become addicted overnight to 123people as an anonymous social barometer have begun to barrage my mailbox with special requests for the “editing” of their respective digital footprints as if the 123 team could automatically wave a magic wand and censor parts of one’s online reputation (Don’t worry K.P. I won’t be naming any names). What they fail to see is that we offer by and large a digital mirror on steroids (or herbal supplements if you will), it is up to the individual to clean their shoes before traipsing in the labyrinth that is the Internet.
In that sense, and in response to the pending encroachment of body scanners in all airports big and small I wholeheartedly support a notion volunteered by Bill Maher during one of his stand-up shows – AtYourOwnRisk Airlines. I propose a logical extension of the concept in that AYOR Air passengers can volunteer to board in the nude, negating the expense and time of excessive personal security screening.
Any takers?
