Hi Bret,

You are so right about the lines being blurred between work and life. Interesting comparison you make to mail and the phone -- do you think we can ever go back to being as evenly divided in the digital age?
I don't know, but I agree that we need to come up with a system that works. Hopefully with time blending work and life will become more seamless. I think it's up to our generation!

I think that you raise an interesting issue with regards to the blending of our professional and personal lives. Social networking has finally broken down the barrier between work and home, and we now need to establish clear rules and actual laws to solve this problem. I believe that we need to create the same types of laws to protect our internet content and correspondence as we have for our mail and telephone. While the content takes a different form for each medium, internet content is not much different from a letter (where anyone on the postal delivery chain can read), but unlike content on the internet, with the mail we ensure that only the correct audience has access to it. Additionally without probable cause, employers and the government have no right to read the content. I think that this same mentality should be applied to social networking/internet content as well. Until we create a similar system, we will always have to watch out for what we put online.
