The Free Digital Lunch Is Over. Now We Pay With Our Lives
(Gaurdian) — I’m an inveterate oversharer. I tweet what I eat, I blog my baby photos, I check in on foursquare. It is second nature to me now. But even early adopters didn’t start out this way. Most of us are resistant to new technology, and pick it up a few months, or years, down the line, when it seems more mainstream and relevant – and when friends seem to be using it. That never happened more dramatically than with Facebook, which credits this “network effect” for an exponential increase in users after its launch in 2004 to the 500 million it is about to announce.
