But five years after Zogbys conversation, people seem to be recalibrating their limits. A report in the New York Times last month suggested an inhibition descending on Spring Break this year. They are very prudish, said one bartender in Key West. They are so afraid everyone is going to take their picture and put it online. Ten years ago, people were doingfilthy, filthy things, but it wasnt posted on Facebook. Its a shame they are not having as much as they did or would like to , but if the price for having filthy fun is that it is broadcast to anyone who wants to see it, and many who dont, then its clearly not a price worth paying.

There are limits to how much candour we can take or expect. With the exception of those in the most intimate parts of my life, I dont really want to know everything that people think about me. Nor do I want to know everything I think about them, or share it. A certain amount of artifice is necessary if were all going to get through the day.
