What if I came up to you and started telling all the things I ate today and every small, silly thought I've had? You would probably think I was weird and you most likely wouldn't be very much interested in the conversation if I had to guess.

Isn't this what we share on the internet? We share many meaningless posts that many people that follow us don't really care about most likely. Often times these "meaningless" posts could actually be giving people too much information. Is it telling them when your home and when you aren't? Is it giving away sacred information that could be used to find passwords for your accounts or information that could later be used against you? 

Why do we feel the need to share? To invade our own privacy and make our entire lives open to the general public? 

While it's wonderful to share our lives with others, I also think it is important to be cautious about what exactly we are sharing. What if what seems meaningless to us and other friends is meaningful to someone who has negative motives with this information? What could the potential risks and hazards of sharing be? Perhaps this is a question we should be asking before posting.
