I have decided to share my thoughts from tonight’s walk with you. I hope you are ready to be edified and amazed. {*grin*}
It struck me, as Molly and I sprinted home from the sudden rain and lightening storm, that life in the age of social media is a lot like being a clerk in a 7-11 store. In support of this rather strange analogy, consider the following:
| LITAOSM (Life In The Age Of Social Media | 7-11 Clerk |
|---|---|
| Random people come and go | ditto |
| Regulars become acquaintances | ditto |
| Regulars disappear with no explanation | ditto |
| The stories told by people may or may not be true | ditto |
| You come to feel you know certain people | ditto |
| Regulars and randoms compete for your attention | ditto |
| Some people are trusted less than others | ditto |
Now notice the similarity of expression in the prototypical blogger and 7-11 clerk:
The list can go on and on. In fact, your assignment is to add additional experiences that LITAOSM and being a 7-11 clerk share. I can think of at least ten more right off the top – can you?
