Folks, enough of the overexposure on social media

I have a friend in real life, one of the very few, who I have not met for almost a year. As a matter of fact, we have not even spoken with, let’s call him John, for that period of time, or even longer but I always feel as if I see him everyday. I not only know what he had for lunch yesterday, but also the time he had lunch, what he wore, the time he went to bed, and several other activities he was engaged in.

Also, I know what he will be doing this next week — I guess he is on leave — and when he will sit his examinations. Of course, I know that he is studying aviation via correspondence, and yes, I saw his certificate which he received upon completing another correspondence course, which I trust must have been in catering, as in cooking, a few months ago.
