Facebook Message In A Bottle
This work explores whether the fact that digital communication is so quick and easy it means that there is some loss in the value of messages sent, to the point where the information being sent is frivolous.
I am not a Facebook user, however my observations of the social networking site have often left me thinking that much of the messaging that takes place is superficial. This lead me to consider if the time taken to send the message was extended dramatically, would the writer still feel that the message held enough value to be sent.
My initial thought was to place the Facebook message in the context of a postal message, in terms of the method of communication. However the idea of a message in a bottle is even more poignant in terms of considering time as factor. The concept of sending a message in a bottle is fascinating as the sender will not know how long it will take for the message to be received, or if it will be at all.
