My Life on Twiiter

1. The twitter assignment was interesting. I do not have a myspace or facebook so the majority of my interactions with friends and family are by phone, in person or email ( email I use rarely), so to have twitter was just odd to me. It felt as if I knew what everyone was thinking or doing without taking the time to literally make an effort to contact them to find out. Its as if people were answering questions without me asking them. I think Stellar time influenced my life on Twitter. I'd see others twitters and was motivated to get up and do something myself. It was as if there comment had an effect where I could be doing something and decide to do something else based on the twitter I just read. I did find it difficult to remember to twitter, I lead most of my life by face to face interactions or by phone so twitter although interesting I knew I would not continue after this assignment. Before twitter I believed time was teleological. I planned out my day and would usually follow through on all my goals without issues. After twitter I now know that as the situations change at times it will require you to define it by a different whether it be teological, stellar or entropic.

2. I found the hypertext to be confusing. At times I could follow the order and see where it was going then I'd click on the next one and be completely lost, feeling like no I've already been here what is next. I did feel as if I were running in circles, it reminded me of life. Its like you have a goal in life then something happens where you must take a different path to get there then something affects that path, etc. You then find yourself in a kind of circle avoiding the potholes to get to your goal and once you get there you have a new goal and back to the same circle you go. Your in a circle but there are different paths you can take to get to that goal.

  1. I agree with Wendy. Before this Twitter activity,
    I always thought I lived in teleological time. I study, I finish school, I find a good job, and I have a good life. Everything seem to be goal oriented. I set a goal and I go for it, nothing else seems to be important. But after this experience, I realize there is a lot more in life. And everything happens around us will change or affect us somehow.
