In "The Qualified Self," Lee Humphreys offers a different view. She shows that sharing the mundane details of our lives―what we ate for lunch, where we went on vacation, who dropped in for a visit―didn't begin with mobile devices and social media. People have used media to catalog and share their lives for several centuries.
