Twitter syndrome

In these days, the twitter is one of most popular web entertainments and communication system. Through this media, people express how or what they feel and think at a specific moment. Especially, twitter is a one’s certain different area independently separated in time and dimension, so these distinctness enable people to be free in speaking their inside.
Also, twitter effects to people in terms of a stream of time. So to speak, a basic greeting or a certain description at the specific time is one of chronological time in twitter. In the morning some people talk about how they sleep at last night. For examples, Minaraakter said, “Time change didn't start too good for me. Slept late and half a day is gone and I have so much in my list to finish”, and Vincentvinh said, “wake up.......have spent long hours in bed...”,
Mina and Vincent posted this in the morning after wake up. A usual reply for this tweet is just similarly talking about sleep or today’s plans.
Other common factors of tweet are weather; it can be defined as entropy or chaotic time. During last two days, it winded and greatly. Some people mentioned about the weather a lot. For examples, Vincentcinh said posted that “it is not rain, it is hella storm in NYC, ruin my umbrella for nothing.” At this time, actually there was a lot of rain and gust of wind, so Vincent complained about the weather.
In the category of entropy or chaotic time, exams effected to people a lot, and it made pretty heavy burdens and concerns. Saloveu said that “same thing here, my equation is 2 midterm+2 papers=madness”, Ginnyjiang said, “Finally finish my Philosophy test! I can have a good sleep la!”, and Mina posted that “I have two midterm next week. I need to hit the highest grade, so expecting all of your wishes. May I?” Besides, during the exam period, some concerns of the exams were very common topic.
Stellar time is a one of factor when people see or experience something unusual or unexpected. Alisha’s tweet showed funny happening. She said, “LMFAO!! dis lady on the train is scratching da hell out of her va jay jay lmfao n then smells her hand ughh smh (crabs)”, it was really shocking, and she seemed to feel disgusting. Also, among my tweets, I said that I went to play tennis but, suddenly the racket club was black out. Both examples show the sudden events effect to people.
Entirely, the chaotic or entropy time was mostly affect to me because I was not on the twitter all the time, so I posted some specific events rather than just general chronological events. Most positive effect is that the twitter makes a connection between people to be intimate, so that is why people are very addicted a lot. But for smart phone users, some addiction can happen, for me (just normal phone user), it does not look so interesting.

  1. LOL I love how you incorporated actual tweets in your blog. Among them I especially enjoyed the one about the woman scratching her "va jay jay". That was very entertaining!
