Is this a generational thing? I've started using Instagram lately and I just can't understand how people who are doctors, lawyers, or dentists are posting content providing professional advice or tips and tricks one day and the next day it's videos of them doing yoga in thongs to sell underwear. There is the odd account where developers are posting similar content. Even elementary school teachers are twerking in videos in their classroom for likes.
If the upcoming generation of developers and tech professionals no longer believe in a separation of personal and professional boundaries, will we see a complete elimination of boundaries and privacy? Is the end goal to have the ability to directly tap into what others are seeing on demand in their most intimate interactions. Something similar to the TV adaption of Brave New World? (I haven't read the book, so I don't know if this is true to the original.) As far as I know, Facebook photos and accounts are private, or that's what it appears people tend to send the accounts to, but Instagram is all about leaving an account open, so they can get influencer collaboration bucks.
