WC and smart phones




Nowadays there is a special time to surf the net, and specially to get into the social media. That is when you go to the bathroom.

 

This may seem a little fun. But the total connectivity can bring consequences, also social ones. Like loosing time, both at work and from family.

 

We are in a time when we have to inform of all our movements. The breakfast, when we shower, when we go to sleep. We upload photos of our movements. We have voluntarily broken our privacy to share the privacy with others. When we confess our acts, what we really do is to invite others to do the same. It’s an indirect way of provoking. We expose ourselves without considering that we give out our private life. We become public, but we don’t get anything for it.

 

The intimate or private time that we spend in the WC has changed over years. This “break” used to a be a moment for smoking, then for reading and now to tell the rest of the world what we are up to. But no one say that they are in the WC.

 

It’s like we are reducing our world into this little space that the physiological needs urge us to visit several times a day. Us, the WC and our smart phone.
