| email bankruptcy This idea of email bankruptcy is a fascinating meta exercise in today's connected world, one I had not heard before an overheard conversation on the subway yesterday. I am one of those people who rarely replies to email which is assisted (or made moot) because outside of work, I rarely get any email. At work, I have to respond -- it's one of the prime elements of my job. But at home, very few require a response and I usually do reply quickly to those that do require a confirmation or answer or whatever. I never get any postcard-style email anymore, you know, those kinds of email asking how you are, what is happening, how are things? I probably stopped getting them because the answers are usually in my blog. Or because I didn't ever answer them. What I want to do is declare Pop Culture Bankruptcy. Can I get rid of all the junk I have and start over again? Can I sell all my music CDs, delete all my MP3s, sell all my DVDs, toss out my videotapes, sell or give away my books & RPGs & comics and basically clean house? Consuming is fun, retaining is a hassle. May 31 07 |
