The Power of Ignore

One of the things that I love so much about media is the remote control. And your own personal control.

The interesting thing about information, and following people's opinions and discussions and updates is that if they are talking about issues that interest you - you can follow. If they are talking about things that don't interest you - you can move on and never ever come back.

If the truth hits too close to home, press the back button on the browser, the hide button on your Facebook page. Same goes for this blog - which is after all, mostly us rambling on about what is and isn't working in our lives.

There's some great extensions you can apply to Firefox to make darn sure that you never ever ever visit the blog or the newspaper or the opinion page that is saying something that you don't want to see or hear.

If you don't understand what an individual's blog post is trying to say, you can ask for clarification, or you can completely refuse to engage with that individual. If you've nothing better to do, you can read all sorts of things into anything, and you can use the content of that post, out of context, to attempt a massive swipe simply because you've never ever managed to work out how to move on in your own life.

The Internet is a wonderful place. You can keep in touch with the people that you want to, and completely ignore those you don't. And the nice thing is that neither party needs to know or even care that much - we've all got much more interesting things to do with our lives after all.
