An odd moment: when your friend signs into gmail on your laptop, and
everything from the color of the labels to the ratio of read-to-unread
e-mails to the quantity of e-newsletters seems completely foreign.
You're reminded that the way you experience the internet is wholly
specific, that the tabs you keep open aren't the tabs everyone keeps
open; you knew this, of course, but somehow it's easy to forget and
assume universality.
Related: when you scroll through your friend's News Feed (or the
roster of people he follows on Instagram or Twitter), and you consider
briefly that he views "the world" through a filter that is so vastly
different from your own.
