The World is becoming small again

A while ago people lived in small villages and if you did anything 'immoral' or wrong pretty much everyone would eventually find out. The 'peer pressure' kept most people moral.

Then the world started moving towards cities and people moving away from their close families. They were able to be 'anonymous' in the big city. They could do 'immoral' things and not embarass their families. Now however the world is once again getting small. Through the use of technology, web, blogs, facebook etc it is easy to be 'found out'. It is not so easy to 'hide' and be a fake person to different people. You can not keep different personas from different people in your life.

Its harder to be one way infront of your parents and another in front of your friends. If you are a 'fake' it is easier to be found out and you are not going to enjoy the ride. This is why some politiicians don't enjoy what they do as they might maintain one image in public and another in private. Or why rockstars might get depressed as they feel they are meant to be a certain way but in fact they are 'normal' guys like everyone else.
