Well said, Michael. It is sad how tethered people are to their cell phones, tablets, etc. Some…Read More cannot even wait a few minutes to do their "brown business" in a public restroom without talking on their cell phone.
“People still make fun of Twitter and the nerd aspect, but it’s not that anymore.…Read More It’s becoming an important part of living,” he said. “[If you’re not on Twitter] you might miss out on some breaking news or something going on in the world.” An important part of living? Wow what a statement. I am amazed at how many people never tweet yet somehow manage to live an active, full, informed and communicative life. A technology like Twitter is only important in ones life if that person decides to make it so. If Twitter went away today the world would not end. The problem I see with it is that those using it regularly do not dive very deep into any subject. Everything is in bits and pieces. Reading full sentences, paragraphs and stories, books or articles is still a very important part of the human experience. There is an incredible amount of misinformation spread via tweets as we recently found out with the Boston bombings. Remember that just as everything that is on the internet is not necessarily true (just because it is o the internet) same goes for all of those tweets. Remember to pick up the phone each day and actually communicate directly with people in real time. Or better yet have a face to face chat. Amazing how different a person's perspective is when they are face to face with others they communicate with.
