Each little update - each individual bit of social information - is insignificant on its own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends’ and family members’ lives, like thousands of dots making a pointillist painting.

About This Quote

Young people today, especially teenagers, spend hours every day on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. They use these sites to keep in touch with their friends and family, but it is the images these young people share that reveal much more than their words. These images can reveal all kinds of personal information about their lives, including what they are doing and who they are with. Information like where they live, who their friends are and what parties they attended can reveal a great deal about a person’s life, even if the person has made no mention of it.
