I found myself on GOOGLE MAPS! I’m famous now! Just joking! I care little about being famous. Actually, I would detest being famous. But yes, that is me on the motorcycle in the picture. I was heading to work one day when I noticed the Google Car so I resolved to get myself into the frame by chasing the car with my motorcycle. For the next year or so while Google retains that image of that street, my virtual self will linger there, forever chasing my dream. On a more serious note, being famous is a big tradeoff to privacy and I would absolutely hate it.
Nowadays young people are always trying to pursue that Internet clout to become famous and then get product endorsements. Modern society has centralized the importance of chasing that paper. This just seems so fake to me. Every time I watch a video, I am inundated with ads and embedded product placements. Oh how our society has unfolded into ads and more ads. Click here, click there, buy this, buy that. Quantity sure has skyrocketed, but overall quality has languished. This can be applied to almost everything from the products that we use, our relationships, and our overall quality of life. What can we trust now? Online profiles turn out to be fabricated. Product ads filter what they want you to see and it is never what you expected. Life is full of so many empty promises and not enough substance.
If life is a cycle, I hope we are on the verge of recovery.
