Connecting the Dots: Stuff

Today's culture is one of things, which due to the variety of material objects, manifests it's self in many different ways. Whether it's objects, money, or interactions, it all has a story.

Our stuff says a great deal about who we are. It tells others what we care about, what we value and what our interests are. When we distribute this information through various media, it is important that we are aware of what description we are making known to the those who control and or use our data. In sharing things, money, or experiences we reveal more about ourselves than we would perhaps care to know, or, more accurately, care to have others know. This logically leads to the warning: be mindful. Think about the sites and sources you use, and how much information they receive from you. Know your personal comfort level with who knows how much and use what resources you can to live your life in the way you see fit.
