The Death of the Cyberflâneur - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2012...

"THE other day, while I was rummaging through a stack of oldish articles on the future of the Internet, an obscure little essay from 1998 — published, of all places, on a Web site called Ceramics Today — caught my eye. Celebrating the rise of the “cyberflâneur,” it painted a bright digital future, brimming with playfulness, intrigue and serendipity, that awaited this mysterious online type. This vision of tomorrow seemed all but inevitable at a time when “what the city and the street were to the Flâneur, the Internet and the Superhighway have become to the Cyberflâneur.”"

"Intrigued, I set out to discover what happened to the cyberflâneur. While I quickly found other contemporaneous commentators who believed that flânerie would flourish online, the sad state of today’s Internet suggests that they couldn’t have been more wrong. Cyberflâneurs are few and far between, while the very practice of cyberflânerie seems at odds with the world of social media. What went wrong? And should we worry? "
- Maitani
I think I can relate to this. I used to do my own kind of "flaneur-ing" back in the early days of the web. There was so much to discover, so much serendipity. Now it seems to have gotten very flat and spoonfed most of the time, and yes, I blame both (typical, non-FF) social networks (especially Facebook) and corporate efforts to monetize every inch of the web. "Technology and social...

I disagree with this part. I have no warm and fuzzy nostalgia for the slow old 56K world. "The tempo of today’s Web is different as well. A decade ago, a concept like the “real-time Web,” in which our every tweet and status update is instantaneously indexed, updated and responded to, was unthinkable. Today, it’s Silicon Valley’s favorite buzzword. That’s no surprise: people like speed...

Kamilah, I agree with you on both parts of what you say. I particularly like what the author says about how it feels to stroll through the streets - or through the internet- alone, without being noticed. I believe it is still possible in the internet, but has become more difficult.

It's definitely possible to surf without automatically announcing your every move. I checked out my own Facebook, and the only thing that automatically feeds into it is my Twitter. If I didn't do that, my Facebook would be nearly blank. It announces my daily sketches, my paintings, and a random thought every two days or so (not every two minutes). I know that a lot of folks just feed everything into their networks mindlessly. I tend not to follow those people. I especially miss serendipity.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it?

"It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life … you give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like “maybe we should be just friends” or “how very perceptive” turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love. - Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: The Kindly Ones"

Parents and non-parents who have experience with kids: My daughter is stressing me out. She is eight-years old and has horrible separation anxiety. It's gotten better, but she still clings to me to the point of exhaustion. She constantly makes me late for work because she "diddle daddles" around. She cries and whines all the time.

I've tried everything. We wake up early, get her things ready at night, I ignore her when she cries and whines, I even tried creating goals and rewards so she will stop this behavior, and she still continues. Any advice is appreciated.

I hope so because I'm getting fed up.

Yeah, as MoTO said, sounds like you're doing everything you can and it may be a phase. My 7yr old used to (and sometimes reverts to) the same thing. He used to be very clingy with his mom, but it's easier for me with boys. You can't really tell a girl to "man up." LOL.

@Rah My dad used to tell us that all the time, so I might have to resort to doing that. Hahaha

I was like this as a kid and, to be honest, I think it was rooted in some other social anxiety issues I had at the time. I eventually got past it (mostly), but I wish someone had taken the time to see what the problem actually was and help me deal with that anxiety about non-family social situations. ETA: my family members who told me to just get over it basically taught me that I...

Good point, Katy with an S. At the very least, listening is paramount. Ultimately though, sometimes I tell Waif, "It looks like we just have to ride this one out."
- MoTO Bott
@Katy Isabelle used to be like that. I couldn't put her in sports or activities because she would scream if I left. However, this past summer, she started being really outgoing. I'm really hoping that it's a passing phase. Then again, when she stops thinking her mother is "cool," Ill be the one with the separation anxiety. :)

My 8 yr old was a very much like this when she was younger, and still wouldn't think of having a sleepover even at her best friend's house that she has known for over 4 years (her friend does sleep over with us, sometimes). I think you are doing the right things - lots of reassurance and cuddles when there is time, but also the firmness that you need to leave at the proper time without...
