We Feel Fine



I came across some of Jonathan Harris's talks on the TED Award's site. He is amazing to listen to and I want to follow what other projects he heads up. I am becoming a big fan. I like creative ways of using all this data and not for a particular profit. The internet is a more impersonal connection but people are using it more and more to express themselves and feel a human connection with others. I was very fascinated by many of his projects including one he did about online dating called "I Want You To Want Me". This site seems refreshing and very fun. He has a curiosity to connect with other people. When I go to this site that collects feelings across the internet, I almost feel like I'm intruding. This random person I don't know feels really sad, another girl is excited about something going on at her work... thought after thought. If anything it is therapeutic to write down in a journal the way you are feeling. Mabe more so for people to do it on the internet. As if they have released a thread of themselves for whomever cares enough to scan through to see what they are doing.
