Twitter; news about our lives
This is the first time I have a Twitter account. Based on what I’ve experienced through Twitter, I can say that the Entropic/Chaotic time is what mostly affects those that are using the social network sites. The things posted are usually random facts or thoughts, and very seldom a collective idea. It usually all stems from one person’s encounter with an idea, which then leads to their followers to think about it, or even give their own views on the comments written. I was never inspired directly by any posts or I could not relate to any of my peers were writing. Most of them write about their daily activities. For example, one of them wrote about going to CVS.
In my opinion, something unanticipated happens in everybody’s life. I had just experienced on event that I have never expected to hear that affected my daily life. I just received call from my country and was told that my mother-in-law who has had treatment for cancer before was diagnosed with cancer again. This news that my life turned upside down right away.
As I read “Garden of Forking Paths” writing by Borges, mentioned us an infinite time consist of lives. As I understood, there are many paths in our lives and our lives included many time periods. For example, I came to the United States 8 years ago myself. I started a new life here. I met many people and I met my husband. If I did not come here I have no idea my life would be same or not.

That's true, a lot of people's comments are usually random but the comments themselves may be teleological. Such as the comment about going to CVS. They must have a reason to go and when they finish getting whatever they need then they leave. Damn, I'm sorry about your mother-in-law. I hope things turn out better since she got rid of it before.
ReplyDeleteThat was me who went to CVS. Although i find Twitter unnecessary, I feel like people share what they do daily, instead of making comments about their perspectives. So, I just followed the fashion of Twitter. I still prefer the Facebook though. I am sorry about your mother-in-law. I hope she gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteWell, going to CVS is part of life, maybe that person found the lotion that he or she was looking for but couldn't find for years; maybe he/she get into a robbery. Anyways, I agree with you that people do not post their perspectives, perhaps we just to keep them to ourselves rather than speak out loud.
