I’ve had a gmail account for a while, now, but just really started using it about a month ago. Same thing with the Facebook page. Also subscribed to two Yahoo groups (neighborhood and running club), and there’s a knowing comfort in having all those structures (Google docs, gmail archives and tags and conversations, Facebook’s fill-in-the-blank template, the files/calendar/message thread scheme of Yahoo). Makes me feel carelessly robotic. Where’s my paranoia about losing agency when it comes to how these markers of myself are shaped? True to form, though, I cannot answer the Facebook questions without asking about the questions themselves. Yes, that hardly changes…
