Could you - now at your ages - imagine having this tech in JH and HS and having to exist in a world of everything is recorded and snipes can come from any direction at any moment, you can't "hide" from contact unless you turn the phone off which youngers really have no experience and even fear doing. COULD YOU DO IT? I'm not sure I could have.
I was a loner and iconoclast even then. I doubt I would have been a charter member of the everything-in-the-open club, so yes. I would have just ignored social media as I do now. It only takes a few examples of social disaster to learn from the mistakes of others.
I hung out with the freaks and geeks. I cannot imagine how we could have done what we did in an age of constant surveillance. But I also think there is more stigma today against deviant behavior than in the late Awakening when I was a teen.
