Tweet

I'm pretty sure that's what a bird would post on Twitter. I guess I'm too ancient to realize the necessity of Twitter. I don't have the need to tell everyone what I'm doing at that exact time and location. And I'm not too concerned about other folks business at that very moment. If you save it til later, you can tell me in person, and we'll have something to talk about. I hear about people who Tweet hundreds of times a day. How do these people get anything accomplished in life? If they're not Tweeting, they're instant messaging, text messaging, emailing, ..... whatever form of communication available via outer space. But not actually exercising their face muscles and tongue to shape the mouth and exert their voice box to form words to exit their mouth. They always have to possess a gadget to convey their thoughts. I don't know about you, but occasionally I need the function of both of my hands at the same time. This would be rather difficult to accomplish, say, moving a refrigerator and trying to Tweet about it at the same time. If you moved the refrigerator and Tweeted about it afterward, you've conveyed information that is now history, and that's not what Twitter is meant for. It's information in the making, not history. In a sense, you're giving your audience information they may already know. What good is that? Apparently we have the need to be doing something with our hands at all times. This is a common defense used by people who smoke. Once they quit, they're not sure what to do with their hands. I feel a generation needs a creative outlet. Do something with your hands that may involve a hobby. Go purchase a pocket knife and learn to whittle. The knife will never go out of style or become obsolete, so there's no need to upgrade for several hundred dollars. After you've created something handmade, don't take a picture and email me, bring it to me and show it to me. The emailed pic doesn't let me sense the excitement you're experiencing or the sense of pride you've actually earned. My personal device is not very personal, and cannot figure out how to express human emotion ..... I don't think?
