My theory, since you all asked, and with my dozens of years of behavioral studies experience (just kidding, I do marketing stuff and things), is that we - human beings, that is - aren't really designed to communicate with the world. It's just not something we're ready for right now. We went from small tribes to friggin Twitter way too fast. We're in the "figure out wtf is going on right now" phase, which could end up being a totally reasonable transition.

But we all seem to be addressing these topics as if they are as natural as plants growing. IDK, I often ask myself "why?" when considering the innovations I experience on the daily. This isn't to say there doesn't exist wonderful benefits of "connector" services like FB/Tw, I'm just not sure we're ready for it all. Then again, maybe this is how progress happens?
