Twitter started out as a system of
communicating ideas to be viewed easily by your peers. In this day in age websites such as this go
viral in a matter of months. With
teenagers feeling that urging need to post everything that pops into their
insignificant heads to internet; a website such as this was destined to
flourish. The initial sign-up is rather
simple and the navigation of the pages is so easy an elementary student could
figure this out, which isn’t much since every child that was born in the
twenty-first century already has an amazing predisposition for using computers
as soon as they come out of the womb. To
start following other “writers” or in this sense “posters” tweets, it just
takes one search of their domain name to begin.
Some of the most famous tweeters are movie stars, political figures, athletes,
and some are just internet sensations.
This website has the capability for anyone who owns a computer and has
access to the internet to post their ideas.
Much like the internet phenomenon, Facebook, you develop a following or
crowd that views your posts on a daily basis.
Could this not simply be just a blog? Fortunately not because the tweets
only allow for a minimal number of characters.
Centuries ago the idea of sharing ideas through mass media seemed
impossible, hell the idea that the earth was round seemed impossible up until a
few hundred years ago. Through websites
such as twitter, with its easily navigable pages, quick search of friends, and
having friends you’ve never met, we have become a technologically dependent country. The thought of sending a letter to a friend
just because you care is history. This
is just the beginning of the depletion of material ideas; we have advanced into
the virtual realm of communication.
