Yesterday in class we discussed our generations addictions to phones, how so many people feel like they have to be available for others 24/7, I find this fascinating, because these people do have boundaries in real life, that they upkeep and enforce. However when it comes to "digital boundaries" they don't seem to exist.
Digital boundaries, in my opinion this should be discussed much more in our society and life, be it in school and so on. I'm thinking I should bring this up in class, just so that my classmates maybe will ponder upon it.
I won't say names, that would be rude, however in the classroom the consensus seemed to be that they feel like they have to be available all the time for others, so that the person messaging them won't feel bad in case they don't get an answer instantly.
This is unfair in my opinion, because its about projecting their insecurities on others through the means of social media & technology.
I think this is fascinating though, how passive aggressiveness and other toxic social behaviors get amplified by technology.
Anyhow, I'll resume writing on this topic at some point.
