This kinda sums up how I feel about what the internet has done to ya. Life just feels sort of grey now. If someone recommends a restaurant or book that used to have value. If you sought out their recommendation and felt the same way it was kind of part of our shared experience. Now people are googling a book before I can even finish the title, they are checking the stars on yelp as I tell them about a great restaurant I discovered.
By making all these experiences easy to discover all the magic was instantly removed. It’s like turning on a cheat code that shows you where all the treasures in a video game are located, sure you can gather them all with ease, but you lost the whole point of playing.
- jmknoll 8y agoI really like the way you phrased that - following someone's recommendation and it becoming part of your shared experience with that person. I've felt this in the past, but hadn't heard it put into words like that.
