When I was in elementary school we had what's called "sharing time." Sharing time was when you brought in something cool from home and told everyone else about it. I hated sharing time. I never felt like I had something cool to share. All the other kids felt like sharing cool stuff would somehow make them more popular and more accepted. Then one time we had to bring in something related to thanksgiving. This is where I hit the jackpot. My family has an old authentic eagle feather headdress from the Colorado River Basin. I wore it to sharing time and I became really cool that day. So in a way, I think Facebook is nothing more than a big giant sharing time community. People share stuff about their lives in an effort to somehow feel more popular and more accepted. Most of the time the stuff we share is stupid and the majority of people couldn't care less about it. Every now and again we find an "authentic Indian headdress" to share, but for the most part we are all searching for ways to be cool. So Facebook isn't some earth-shattering new idea that is changing the world. It's just making us all feel obligated to share stuff. We could all live perfectly fine without Facebook. I'm not even sure what the point of this post is. I guess I feel compelled to share my thoughts on sharing. So if sharing our photos, videos, ideas, hobbies, and passions is what propelled the Web to what it is today, what will be our next move? There has to be a way to move the power of sharing our lives online into the real world. I feel empty and unfulfilled with most of my  "social networking" experiences.  I have a feeling that the mobile web will be the next world-changer. When we are all connected as we go about our daily lives and the messages and pings we receive on our mobile phones cause us to change our behavior, then we will see the true power of sharing. I guess this means I need to buy an iPhone?
