“It’s 1995. You log onto IRC and see messages scrolling down the screen faster than you can keep up. You join the conversation and get to know the group. Fast forward to 2008, to a time when the ever popular Facebook and Twitter rule the world. You feel pressured to accept your boss as a friend on Facebook, and you have followers that you don’t even know. Come 2009, you’re starting to feel anxiety for accepting your boss and you wonder if you should or should not post that picture from Saturday night. Digital backlash sets in.”
