I recently gave a short presentation at Microsoft’s Social Computing Symposium. I spoke about streaming my life live for the World to watch, how it has affected me, and how it could and will affect any of you. Here are my ten ways it would change your life if you choose to stream 24/7.

  • You begin to see yourself through other people’s eyes. It’s no longer just “you”. It’s what everyone else thinks you are.
  • Family will begin to avoid you at all costs. This could be either very good, or very bad, depending on how you see your family. Trust me, not all of them want to have their idiosyncrasies broadcast to the World.
  • Your life gets a rewind button. There are many moments you will inevitably miss… like the dog falling off your desk. Thanks to your stream going constantly, and others recording what you’re doing, you’ll get a “rewind” button in order to see those moments yourself.
  • Your sense of loneliness becomes non-existent. Several of us work at home, and that’s how much of a social life we get. When you have an audience watching, you are no longer alone.
  • Your privacy is in the World’s hands. You can no longer do things without remembering that everyone is watching. You have to leave the camera if you want any privacy.
  • You can no longer lie about where you are, or aren’t. People have called me on occasion, just to see if I’ll pick up the phone. Then they get irritated with me, because they saw me sitting at my desk. Well yeah, I was there. I was busy! Really!
  • You monitor your idiosyncrasies like never before. Admit it! You do things in the privacy of your own home or office that you would never do in front of others. We all do!
  • The threat of lawsuits from places like the RIAA is real. I watch television shows and listen to music all the time. I do so legally, but the sound comes out across the stream. I *could* get into trouble.
  • You can become an event’s superhero. I wasn’t planning to live stream this event. However, since the need arose, I filled that gap.
  • You become more honest with yourself and others. “Yourself” is the most important part of that statement. You can no longer lie to yourself about things you do or don’t do. People will point out everything that you do, and you can’t deny it.

I only had time to take one audience question, sadly. Someone asked me what I have changed since beginning this live streaming journey. The answer is simple: I have changed myself.
