The document proposes a presentation by Stacy Fuller and Maude Child at SXSWi 2014 about how sharing behaviors online can impact realities offline. Specifically, it would discuss how public sharing affects time management, self-esteem, romantic relationships, our sense of existence, and future decisions. Examples given include the amount of time spent sharing online, the cycle of negative feelings and turning to social media for esteem boosts, how social media impacts all stages of relationships, and if not documenting experiences online means they didn't happen. The presentation would explore questions around these topics.

- 6. Need more convincing? Ok, lets dive a bit deeper into these topics...
- 7. Why in an economy of time do we spend so much time sharing?
- 8. We spend our day sharing. Collectively, we upload 35 hours to YouTube every minute. And in that that very same minute, we upload 135,849 photos to Facebook. Even if we consider ourselves private sorts, chances are we are still Liking articles, retelling YouTube skits to friends, and generally spending our days sharing. But in a world where time is money, why would we dedicate so much time to a seemingly non-lucrative activity? What are the primary scientific reasons we innately feel compelled to share?
- 9. Is social media making you feel bad about yourself?
- 10. 50% of social media users evaluated their participation in social media as having an overall negative effect on their lives. But oddly, studies have found that after we experience something negative we turn to Facebook to boost our self- esteem. What is this cycle of sharing we have gotten into and how is it altering our sense of self?
- 11. Are your Facebook posts ruining your relationship?
- 12. Social media is affecting every stage of courtship. From discovering things about a potential partner you typically wouldn't find out until much later in a relationship to the types of things you share predicting the odds of you staying in your current relationship. Even breakups are affected, as social media makes it harder to leave the past in the past. What does this mean for the evolution of relationships? What will it mean in the future to share everything with the one you love?
- 13. If you go to an event and dont take a picture, did it really even happen?
- 14. New technologies have made us feel that we need to constantly be sharing our present moment to be part of the inclusive present. It used to be that we created a self-narrative, but now we expect our friends to participate in a communal narrative of our self. What does it mean to define the present by shared moments? How does that alter our historic understanding of time? How are the boundaries between self and others changing?
- 15. Are your sharing habits today predictive of decisions youll make tomorrow?
- 16. Trend forecasters follow the way people share ideas to predict the trends of the future. Can we look at what we share as individuals to help us predict our own futures? Can looking into what we share today, help us anticipate what our tomorrow will look like?
- 17. Thoroughly intrigued? Then vote for us and of course share our dual presentation...We promise it wont negatively affect your self esteem.
