love a good bumper sticker

“Online, we easily find “company” but are exhausted by the pressures of performance. We enjoy continual connection but rarely have each other’s full attention. We are lonely but fearful of intimacy. Our networked life allows us to hide from each other, even as we are tethered to each other. Digital connections may offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship. [They offer] just the right amount of access, just the right amount of control, [putting] people not too close, not too far, but at just the right distance. The world is now full of […] people who take comfort in being in touch with a lot of people whom they also keep at bay.”

Boulders in now abandoned Dogtown, MA. In the 1930s Roger Babson commissioned unemployed stonecutters to engrave 35 boulders with “inspirational” phrases after the announcement of the stock market crash that would lead to the Great Depression.
