Make This Choice

Choose...Choice is equated with a freedom, but this theory is not true for digital medias.  Choice on the internet causes us to stop, change direction, think in the box and narrow down the answers.    So, the choice may not be the real answer, and our answer is not available as one of the choices, so then, our value-sets become changed as we are forced to narrow down our answer.

              By stopping what we are doing to have to make a choice, changes the direction in which we were headed and we loose our place....

              So, we travel in another direction, on another subject we were not intentionally on before the choice had to be made.    Now, we are on a subject we were not interested in while choosing choices from one option while letting other choices go that are not listed as choices available, making a choice often times in the dark.    So, we are now less engaged, more obsessive, less free and more controlled. 

              These kind of choice makings interact with our lives as the choices are presented to us in a registered form, buying into the values behind the choice.    All the choices and their causes, cause us to have to conform, traveling on a predetermined path with a predetermined destination, getting us lost in translation.   Our past choices limit our future choices, and this narrows down the dimensions by which we see by, giving us a bias toward the information we are receiving.      Choice is the one thing that separates  us.
