Sharing - any greetings card poet will tell you - is caring. Which is just one of the many reasons you shouldn't pay attention to greetings card poets. Thanks to social media - Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instabloodygram - global sharing is at its highest level since records began. If there really were a direct correlation between sharing and caring, even the Care Bears would be lying comatose in the streets, choking on the saccharine benevolence of modern humanity. And yet, step outside your front door: did anyone hug you? No. Q.E.D. Which is not to say the recent addition of an ?over-sharing needs? bar to Maslow?s pyramid is without benefit to society. To police officers, for example, the irresistible urge felt by dumb criminals to boast of their crimes using social media is the gift that keeps on giving.
