The anonymity of the net makes me take almost everything I read with an extremely large dose of salt. On the other hand many internet users fall into groups such as housebound, carers, stay at home moms, disabled or single where the net's one of the few places the opportunity to chat arises on their timetable. Isolation even when dictated by circumstances isn't healthy. Sharing is a good thing! The anonymity of the net makes me take almost everything I read with an extremely large dose of salt.

Adults that let their kids to do so or do it themselves are setting an awful example. I don't see sharing as bad. If you're uncomfortable with too much information you have choices. You can either not read it, let them know you are and ask them to quit being quite so open or find another place to go that's more suited to your tastes.

Yeah people may be sharing online, but is that always a good thing? Just take a look around and it is not hard to come across seedy sites that want to share way too much information with us all. Personally I sometimes think we were all a lot better off without the level of "sharing" that goes on today. And as far as hurting families, yeah I do think that it has all made a negative impact. How many times do you go out and see people supposedly having dinner with their families but either the kids or the adults, maybe all, are too busy working and texting than they are having conversations with the people at their own tables? Far too often. It can go the other way too though. Yeah people may be sharing online, but is that always a good thing?

I might be in the minority. Sharing is the giving of the gift of information. You give the gift of yourself, what you know and who you are. If gift-giving is done with expectations of something in return, how is that giving? It's swopping or trading. I never give anything, whether a physical gift or an informational one, in that spirit. When you share, that is the gift. I’ve never thought of sharing as separate and distinct from gift-giving. I might be in the minority. Sharing is the giving of the gift of information.
