soupsoup: slippy: We Live In Public finally comes out on DVD today. I cannot express enough how much ass this documentary kicks. I consider myself a pretty versed in internet history/culture/ and all around web fuckery, but the stuff I saw in this movie just made my head spin. I guess I had no idea what was really going on. Most of the action the takes place over ten years ago, in a time when we were just beginning to figure out what it means to live our lives online, in view of thousands of people on our blogs or webcams. This doc is a cautionary tale about the loss of privacy, about what it means to put too much of your life online, about how going too far too fast can sometimes be too much. The most frightening thing about all these tales - and this documentary is just one of many - is that in ten years time we really haven’t learned anything about the perils of over-sharing, and more hilariously, we just don’t care. See the trailer here. Buy the DVD here. Great movie, go check it out. Josh Harris scares me. He def predicted that new We-Live-In-Public-Esque series on Hulu.
