ehow escaped having an Instagram account. This means that I am oblivious to all of my friends’ fun broadcasted on Instagram.

Real life interactions usually offer the possibility to be mindful of sensitivities around a certain subject, as can be the case if the topic of discussion is about who is hanging out with whom. Given this definition, there are many flagrant privacy violations I am subject to and aware of (yes, internet companies that do large scale gathering of personal data, I am thinking of you). Meanwhile, I’ll continue feeling blessed, not knowing that my new cool friend threw a birthday party last week to which I was not invited.
