- ams6110 8y agoI think this is the disconnect that (some) older people have. I resist using any platform that exposes my private life like this. And my private life is utterly routine, I "have nothing to hide" but I still don't accept it should be normal that everything is public. Younger generations might just be conditioned to see it as normal. That's worrisome to me, but a good illustration that humans adapt to whatever culture they're raised in. If you grow up in a glass house, it's just the way things are.

I'm wondering what's next.
