Tweet Tweet!

As a Facebookoholic, once I started to use Twitter for my class assignment I felt like I am cheating on my Facebook account. Although, these two sides are totally different formatted they are both social networking sites at the end.  I like Facebook better because I am able to chat, email, share with people. Also, I am able to share my albums. However, (maybe it is because I am new on Twitter) on Twitter I feel like I am limited to interact with people, and I do not understand why people feel need to share their ideas via using these sites. I personally do not write that much on Facebook either.

I have seen people who share information like “Oh my boyfriend bought me shoes for $900”, “I am going to my girlfriend’s house”, or “I am going to beat that girl up so bad, I am so mad right now.” These kind of things seem very unnecessary to me. Why would you want people to know what you share with your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend and so on. I rarely write on my status and share something in common about my country, or hunger in Africa, or the war in Pakistan. I do not even have the information about my relationship status. Personally, I do not think there is a need to share too private things on internet with people. Even though these people are my friends, I would not want them to know everything about my life. For example, I have a girl on my Facebook, and she is very open-minded and she hangs out a lot. Every two three month, she has a different album with a different guy says “Love of my life”. When I see her page, I just laugh because it just makes her look very bad.

I have followed what my peers wrote during the week and I realized that most of them are influenced by Teleological time to write something about themselves. They mostly write about their daily lives instead of sharing general ideas, or their perspectives. Since all of us are college students, people write about their concerns about mid-terms, classes and work at the same time…etc.

The hypertext of Borges’ The Garden of Forking Paths made me realize that we exist in all times. If we think about the specific events in our lives, we would realize that we are an endless cycle of all three times.
