Twitter is turning you into a twit

 

140 characters are just not enough.

Each letter, number, punctuation point and space counts as a character.

To describe a word in one sentence is called parsing.

Twitter is turning us all into twits.

One sentence conversations are becoming the norm.

Soon we will speak the same way.

Twitter is causing an entire generation to become mindless robots.

Now realistically it is not fair, to blame South Africa’s total lack of attention and focus on Twitter.

Twitter is simply software that accepts140 characters or less, regardless of who is running for President.

But it’s all because the Twitter community has a steady stream of new members.

Follow anybody on Twitter and they might follow you back.

Tweet on Twitter and become a Twit, so to speak, or rather twitter.

Whether you actually do follow or not is not really the point, it’s just courtesy to respond in kind.

Be nice or leave.

One should morally follow back out of courtesy so that more folks don’t jump off the Storms River Bridge.

Imagine the trauma of Twitter rejection.

But just because one follows, doesn’t actually mean one becomes a stalker

Whatever you do, don’t lose control because you committed a downright ugly Twitter indiscretion.

You know, something you are afraid might pop up on you-know-who’s Google search.

But if you do sin, one of the Twitter strategies for covering up your indiscretion is simply moving on.

Open a new account with a different nom de plume

Twitting away with silly nonsense also buries the tweet or twit or twittle where you called your boss an icehole.

But no worries, in the end Twitter is all so stylishly superficial anyway.

The original idea was for your friends to know what you are thinking and doing every minute of the day.

It seems even stranger if you are married, talking to each other is better than twittering.

Besides, how important can your thoughts while doing laundry really be?

The real strength of Twitter; it’s artificial and not very important at all.

It’s contrived except for those that already think in Twitter.

If it sounds too complex it’s really not.

Twittering requires only superficial usage of scattered parts of the brain.

There numerous Twitterers that do not express any sort of thought whatsoever.

They have a hope that someday a miracle will happen.

It’s sort of like “hi, I’m here trying to think.

Not much yet in terms of results but will keep on trying and keep you posted or rather twittered should I actually think something.

 

87% of Twitterers have less than a two second attention span.

Call it parsing or call it scatterbrained

Twitter is showing us a very important and revealing aspect of our humanity: a mind is not necessary for self expression.

So go ahead, feel free to exercise your mindless self expression

Go ahead twitter me if you dare
