It used to be that you would only share the minutiae of your life with close friends, or people you saw or talked to frequently.
Facebook has made it possible to share the minutiae of your life with everybody at the same time with no extra effort on your part, thus severing any special bond you may have made with the few people you chose to share the details of your life with, because now the bar is set so low, people you don’t even know, know every little detail of your life.
More progress, I guess.
