Big Brother returns to our TV screens tonight with another bunch of half wits in the search of celebrity.I watched it about 10 years ago when the idea of locking 10 strangers in a house and observing their behavior seemed vaguely interesting.
Things have changed a bit since then. Now we plaster our private lives all over Facebook or mySpace in the vague hope that our otherwise dull lives might appear interesting to others. We tweet away endlessly vying for attention with our other "followers" like demented battery hens. We attend seminars about the need to network and connect with anyone we bumped into in the dim and distant past.
Our consciousness is constantly intruded by beeps and rings as we respond to mobile phone calls, text messages, emails, tweets etc etc
We are forever connected in a telecommunications spaghetti of banality.
Yes, like Winston Smith, we all love Big Brother now.
