Assisted Procrastination

Today, it’s the ‘Like’ button. Think about it – there are few things better than being able to wander the Internet offering a thumbs-up for just about anything. I love the concept of a visual proclamation of approval. How did we survive before we were able to both give and receive virtual acceptance on the most random and (often) mundane of fleeting thoughts or discoveries? It’s like the gold star we’ve had to do without since kindergarten. Though, unlike those coveted gold stars, we don’t yet have the ability to hang those ‘Likes’ on the fridge. Google really should get on that if they want any hope of taking back the Internet.
