1. Twitter, a place where people join in...this joining in implies community and interaction between members. What a disappointment, members join in being alone and broadcasting their thoughts and actions to an audience that may or may not be there. It is an application where all we care is "me, me, me and what I did and have to say" while claiming that we share with others but only complaining, rejoicing and expressing our indifference/opinion about things that affect us.

Entropic time affects all of us and reading the tweets, it seems that there is no connection between different posts (people). Let's take for example the latest post of our professor "drdanamilstein pardon my language, but fuck our health care system: http://bit.ly/a5GpL"; is this in any way leading to an effect on any of the readers or on her next decision regarding health care? No, because we are either too small for our voice to be heard or too busy with our own problems to do anything. The tweet is just an expression of frustration, a random event that will be forgotten if not already forgotten.

This is not to say that life is completely random, our acts influence other people but the acts themselves are random. Let's take an accident for example: we surely don't mean to crash into another car but it happens and the other driver and us are now connected and our acts influenced their life, made them late to work, damaged their car, etc. Did we know this morning when we left home that we'll be involved in a crash and affect someone's life? Is there such a thing as predetermination, was it written somewhere that we will stop at that traffic light and so be in the intersection two minutes later and hit the other car? Everything starts entropic and develops teleological or stelar.

2. The hypertext reading is trying to make the point that there is no true beginning and no end. It all revolves and we find ourselves at what we thought was the beginning, but that beginning may be the middle or the end if viewed from another perspective. Was Albert's murder the end or the beginning? To some it was the end (Dr. Yu Tsun), but to others it was the beginning of a military campaign which will cascade into another series of events. Time is a straight line from which different paths fork at every step. Dr. Yu could have informed his superiors about the location of the battery in many different ways but circumstances and choice made him do it by killing Albert and allowing Captain Richard Madden to capture him.
