something unsettles me about the fact that the first thing someone would think of doing during an emergency landing is tweeting about it.

At what point does your life just become a digital narration of your activities? Kind of like those old detective movies, but duller.

I think it's about personal preference. I'd want my loved ones to know what was going on if I had the ability and we were in some kind of a situation. Nosediving is totally different from an emergency landing, obviously. Having the luxury to update people I care about is nice, in my opinion.
