Reaction to the Video Twitter in Plain English


I found the video to be interesting since I am not a part of Twitter and really do not have any interest in being a part of it.   I understand that some people love to see what everyone is doing and they love to post what they are doing for their 15 minutes of fame but I really do not care.  Not to sound like a horrible boring person but I just do not have time to see what Jane ate for breakfast or what movie John is seeing tonight. 
 
If I had time to read about someone else life, I would have time for a lot of other more import things that seem to keep slipping by each day because I don’t have time.   I think this is also a reason why we have become more of a closed off society too.  People would rather Tweet or Blog about someone or something rather than calling them and talking about it face to face.   I know some social media is okay, but I think some people get too caught up in it and forget how to have an old fashion conversation.

  1. Sarah,

    I can relate to a lot of what you said about people becoming too involved in each other's business and I don't think that it is very healthy. I agree that there are more productive ways to spend your time.

    Thanks for sharing your input.

  2. I too agree with what you said, Sarah. I do not have a Twitter but I am on Facebook and that is probably the same....going to the grocery store, johnny is getting a haircut..etc. I think the younger generation will be so used to digital socializing, they will lose social interaction.
