Twitter! What in the world is Twitter that what I asked myself when we was just told about the assignment and then I get home turn on ESPN which I do every night so I think its starting to show that I live my life in a teleological time. Sorry back to the story so I turn on ESPN and there it goes Charlie Villanueva of the Milwaukee Bucks is posting a twitt at half time at a game with the Boston Celtics (kind of remind you of stellar time). So this is where I start to get intrigued I rushed onto my computer and sign on to Twitter and add Charlie Villanueva (CV31 is his twitter name) as my first person to follow. For the next three days I followed my classmates and I learned that for most part at this time point in my life I am mostly living Teleological time I wake up in the morning I get dressed I go to work and college get home and start over the next morning. What I was surprised about is that most other people seemed to live out of the loop having events pop up from no where and enjoying there time having some structure to it but for most part. I really enjoyed seen that at some point I would be able to enjoy life the same way. But on day three I saw that time affects everyone differently and that all three different times influence your everyday life. As I signed onto facebook I had to status updates from two different friends a status update is pretty much the same thing as a twit and one said “ having the best day ever” and then I scrolled down a bit and the next one said” RIP we will miss you dearly” the second post was for a friend of mine that was taken away way to early from this world and that moment it showed me that one min you can been living a linear life and out of no where everything can become chaotic where one person can be enjoy the best day of there life and another morning the loss of a friend. At that point the whole assignment meant sense to me and became real and showed me to use my time in the best way possible.
The hypertext activity brought to real life what the text was trying to illustrate. A story with no beginning or end with no direct cause and effect where one part of the story effect any other part just as equally. The designer tried to teach us that that for every action there is a reaction and that there could be more then one path you can take which will lead you in one direction or sometime bring you to the same point to lead you in another direction. I found myself going thru the same paragraph over and over again at first I was frustrated by it I wanted to be able to explore other part of the story but then I found myself trying to figure out the pattern that led me to going in same circle. I think that this shows just as twitter showed that right now I end up doing things in a routine not going outside the boundaries of the norm.
