Press: Spilling Each and Every Bean - NYT

Spilling Each and Every Bean - New York Times: "By nature we Americans are a talky people, given to self-expression and self-definition. [...] And, of course, we invented the Internet, on which we may or may not be able to blame our epidemic of blurting and jabbering. A bared soul is the new accessory, the midriff of the Internet age. Ours may well be an exhibitionist approach to the psyche - in the past this material belonged to the confessor or the therapist, or to the postcoital pillow - but it seems to work for us.

"Did technology do this to us, or did we do it to ourselves? [...] Technology is doing its best to breed the discretion instilled by our mothers out of us. [...] To head into cyberspace is to leave our manners and morals at home."
