about

This is the age of pointless information. Companies now put web-addresses on packs of instant noodles, so that you can visit them for extra information about the product. Why would anybody want to? What exactly is there to know? Who exactly are the 100,000 people following Kellogg’s on Twitter? What are they hoping to learn?
We didn’t need all this mountain of information before, and we don’t need it now. But businesses, just like individuals, feel like they’re being left behind or will be invisible if they don’t try to thrust themselves into people’s faces on every available online platform. So much noise and babble - so many words, and yet so little to impart of any importance.
Truth and knowledge are being swamped by propaganda and trivia. Less is more.

lyrics

No, I don’t want to follow you on Twitter. I don’t need your fancy smart-phone scan. I don’t want to know any more about this tin of beans, so why the website details on the can? So, I don’t want to follow you on Twitter and find out every single thing about you. Just because it’s possible to put everything online doesn’t mean that that’s what you should do. The world is drowning in pointless information on things about which nobody should care. Why do people put their whole lives up on Facebook? It’s not necessarily always good to share.
