"Not everything about yourself needs to be known by others"
My comment was-EXACTLY

Many of you will not agree. Many will.
We see thousands of people baring everything on social media leading to an overflow of information.Most of it is pretty inane and much of it is downright offensive.

The young are more into the game and hang on very word,emoji,emoticon somebody may have posted as if their very life hinges on it.
Middle age group is about flaunting their holiday abroad,kids,cars,houses......................in that order
Older people are into gyaan and by the truckloads!

It is a game of oneupmanship with a little bit of verbal fisticuffs thrown in for the sake of masala.

This whole hanging -by -thread -to- FB/Twitter has led to very common scenes in public/private spaces.I will share some which I have observed;

*visitors coming to your house and showing pics in their mobile, no other conversation
*a whole group of people in a restaurant busy on their mobiles and eating whatnot without actually seeing what it is
*daily passengers in local trains/buses immersed head down on their groups
*people teaxting and walking on roads impervious to safety

And now some conversations:

Arrey koi hai?- searching desperately for some soul in the grp in the dead of night
Kya raha hai?-  conversation gambits every 6 seconds
Grt! Awesome dude! LOL!ROFL! @#$....-leading comments
Song clippings- indirect hints to some friend like a Whodunnit

Where in this is actual conversation?
