Catfish Rewind

Gary Turk, a poet wrote the poem, "Look Up", one of my favorite pieces of poetry and an excerpt of which he says:


All this technology we have it’s just an illusion
Community, companionship, a sense of inclusion
When you step away from this device of delusion
You awaken to see a world of confusion


A world where we’re slaves to the technology we mastered
Where information gets sold by some rich, greedy bastard
A world of self-interest, self-image, self-promotion
Where we all share our best bits but leave out the emotion


We’re at our most happy with an experience we share
But is it the same if no one is there?
Be there for your friends and they’ll be there too
But no one will be if a group message will do


We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation
We pretend not to notice the social isolation
We put our words into order till our lives are glistening
We don’t even know if anyone is listening.


So, although the majority of the class seems to despise Angela in the movie Catfish, has anyone stopped and considered the possibility that maybe they are a catfish themselves?
If no, then you are stating that you have never once fabricated any detail on social media and that you are exactly the person you are in person than onscreen. You are also stating that you have never filtered, posed and exaggerated your emotion, appearance or opinions in ways not possible in person.
