根据下列材料,请回答题:Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Recently the Barbican museum in London held an exhibition called the Rain Room. During the time this exhibition was open, my Twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the Rain Room, accompanied by the caption(标题) “Rain Room @ The Barbican!” and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the Rain Room.
This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was meeting the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of "notify the world that I am doing a thing". It's not sharing; it's showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating tream of people enjoying themselves. It's not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn't get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us.
This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every acquaintance we've made. We end "up with adimin is hed perception of reality because we're more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter for our meal than how it tastes.
I don't that that it's inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about what you're doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you're not a human being. You're just a prism(棱镜) that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the Cloud.
The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you're detracting (转移) from them because all your efforts are focused on making them look attractive too they people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of thepeople following you on Twitter or Facebook or instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not because, you snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.

B.Most of people feel obligated to share their experience with Mends.
