Our world is ever-shrinking. Thanks to technology, in today's world, communication is almost instantaneous. It would seem that we must live our lives as though we are in the eye of a constant video camera with the omnipresence of cell phones.
Why 'we' do not think of this, before we act, is beyond my ken. This is particularly true for young people, who, for the most part, seem glued to their electronic devices.
The recent actions and INSTANT transmittal of electronic images of the young soccer player with the bad attitude and anger-management issue are a case in point of how behavior on a soccer field is now for view all over the world. This young person's life now and in the future, will forever be branded with images of what took place this one time in this one place and will be played over and over. To say that her life has been changed forever is an understatement. Electronic images, once transmitted, have a life of their own - kind of like the Twinkie in a landfill.
We now live in a world where we can and should expect to be 'on camera' everywhere except inside our places of residence. To behave any other way is to behave foolishly.
Ancora imparo
