Loss of Mystique?

“The first thing I did when I walked into the arena to work on the set I said, ‘It’s 2009 and there’s a million iPhones with a million opportunities to take a picture of our show and ruin Christmas.’
“I’m so over the Internet, Twitter is ridiculous and there’s too much info out there. Celebrities, movie stars and rock stars are losing their mystique.”
I certainly understand his feelings. I love the instancy of communication and the huge amount of information at my fingertips. But I also mourn the days where there was mystique about a person, when we had privacy. When someone protests their privacy, I always wonder if they have something to hide or are simply wanting things to be the way they were twenty years ago. Maybe it’s just a desire to keep a few things to ourselves and those who really love us.
