Reality

What is our obsession with reality? It just struck how much blogging is one big reality show. It's interesting to see what's going on in other people's lives. It's reassuring to see that there are other people thinking similar thoughts--or exciting to see how they're not.

I think this all started back way back in the early 90's with the Netscape fish-cam which of course evolved into the 'jenny cam'... a sneak peak into someone else's day to day.

after this craze burns off, what's next, escapism?
Actually.....the irony of 'reality' is that it is escapism....all that time spent watching and wondering about other people is just a vaca from our own lives...
