I first notice one of my friends do this a few years back. They would start an IM session in their PCs and after a few hours go to the malls and still have a presence in the chat rooms. He is using his mobile phone to continue his IM activities after he closed his PC.
People developed an insatiable appetite to be always connected. An individual is not only connected one-on-one but also connected to his network (twitter,IM chat rooms,facebook) and to his public.
We are all rockstars now.
We even crave for information that's unimportant! We amaze ourselves with the trivial and laugh at the misfortunes of others because they have become commonplace. We skim the surface of this sea of information but do little of deep analysis. We are mystified at someone doing that. We call them gurus. As if it's a new religion.
