we live in public

Just watched a strange & mildly depressing film, We Live in Public, about Josh Harris the supposed inventor of broadcast internet. Apparently Josh was a tv baby and grew up to be a mad genius. He's obsessed with fame and filming everything he does. In the late 90's he created an "art" piece called Quiet which consisted of a 100 people living in an underground bunker in Manhattan and having 110 cameras filming everything they do at all times. It was quite hedonistic and really base. The "party" was eventually shut down by police. He then did another art projected w/a claimed "pseudo" girlfriend where they lived together in a loft for 6 months with cameras positioned on them at all times (even inside the toilet bowl) and then people would follow on the internet and become involved in their life thru chat boards. Josh pretty much had a nervous breakdown after this (go figure) and moved to a farm (he's now back in society trying to get something called Wired City off the ground). I don't understand why anyone would want to film themselves 24/7 or why anyone else would want to watch or care, but it turns out there are plenty of people who share this affinity with him (ie chatroulette, reality tv). His prediction is that humans will no longer be able to function in an organic way and everything will be virtual and then eventually computers will take over and humans will become extinct.
