So that’s it… Now it’s you and that mirror, the human and the screen. The keyboard is now quiet. The Enter key is waiting for your command. The mouse is ready to point and click. You typed your message to the world. Are you going to hit Submit? Don’t you want to review it first? Do you trust the mirror? Because after you press that button, your bytes will mix with the network’s bytes, you thoughts will be out there, beyond your control.
Communication is irreversible, every first year student in communication studies knows that. There is no turning back after you click Send. No matter what you’re trying to repair after the typed words are out on the net, nothing will change. Your bytes will enter the world server’s cache, your receivers’ inboxes, your subscribers’ RSS readers etc.
So, forget about golden rules. The good old rule still applies: think twice and click once.
what about being spontaneous? seizing the moment? do you have any idea about how much of today’s literature is the result of nothing more than sitting down and writing not because you want to but because you can’t stop doing it? I’m a blog owner myself and I’d be post-less if I’d ever give it a second thought.
stop over-analyzing. it spoils it.
You’re right, but I’m not talking about literature. Anyway, you’d be amazed to know how much of the today’s literature is worked around to seem spontaneous. Just look at Cartarescu’s books, they are a marketing machine!
