Crazy Event

I have a very difficult time forcing myself to write on Twitter. It's just not in me, but I realized that due to events that occurred in real life and the existence of my Twitter account, I got slightly more engaged than I expected. This is why I feel like my Twitter account reflects Teleological time, in which some events are a result of something preceding it. When there is a political issue I see on the news, I would look on my Twitter feed to see what other followers say about this issue. This would also reflect on how I viewed that same issue. My friend uploaded a link to a video about "Bridal Kidnapping" which still exists in this world. This led me to have a negative mood throughout the day and spread that video with my friends.

The most unanticipated happening that ruptured my daily construct of living was actually semi-related to my Twitter account. When I first created my Twitter account, I tweeted about how excited I am for Bryant Park Ice Skating Rink to open. Then I followed the BryantPark rink on Twitter for updates. Once it opened and I started ice skating there, some dude decided to start shooting into the ice-skating rink, with me ten feet away from him and 3 seconds away from being infront of his shooting direction. This caused a big scene and chaos. This ultimately changed the plans of my week, and then I eventually ended up tweeting about it, and going back to my Twitter account to see what BryantPark had to tweet about it. It didn't mention the shooting, but mentioned the rink will be closed until further notice. Interesting....

Friend or Not

Being able to quickly access millions of consciousness is a great gift. Telepathy? I'd love to have one, but it's fiction of course. If we look closely, Twitter is a realistic comparison to mental telepathy. Both have the brilliant characteristic of having to communicate without opening ones mouth. With that being said, the two shares a detrimental feature that can bite their users in the a**. That feature is "free will". Free will is great to have, but utmost responsibility is required, unless someone wants to follow the fate of the infamous Anthony Weiner, please feel free not to.

Life and Twitter...

I have been a Twitter user since May 2009. In the past four years this social media resource has become an intricate part of my life. It provides laughter, information about world events, politics and the entertainment business, a connection with people with different cultures and lifestyles, and, most importantly, it gives me a place to express myself. Having a Twitter account has been cathartic. It highlights the fact that there are other people all over the world that can relate to you.I believe that in Twitter we see good examples of both chaotic time and stellar time.

My twitter activity over the years has varied in frequency based on how hectic or relaxed my life is at the time. Most days, in this environment, stellar time prevails. People are constantly expressing the events in their lives in very chronological way, however these events affect several people on my timeline. Usually you would assume that one person's actions in a social networking site would not affect the other people in said site. However, we see that people usually follow similar groups of people over and long period of time. This creates bonds between strangers, which in turn have the most minimalistic aspects of a persons life creating a ripple in the lives of some of their followers. Following people from different cultures or religions can slowly change your perception of that culture or religion.

Another aspect of Twitter time is that it can be extremely chaotic. The amount of random tweets send on a daily basis are amazing. Sometimes people will tweet things that have no rhyme or reason. This is part of what makes this social network unique and keeps it thriving. At any given time someone will come up with a post or comment that is unrelated to anything they have been saying and that is somewhat inconsequential, except to mark how beautifully random Twitter can be. 

I feel that Twitter is an amazing social networking site that provides a mixture of stellar and chaotic time. This creates a unique environment in which people can feel free to express themselves in creative ways. As hard as keeping my thoughts to 160 characters was when I started tweeting I've realized that the limit imposed by the site makes people think in different ways. The limit makes them focus on the important message they want to convey and helps maintain the time equilibrium between chaotic time and stellar time.

Teleological time affects my life and twitter responses the most. This is because most things that I talk about are cause and effect, and linear situations such as preparing for test, studying is going to impact the effect, and the test is the cause. Also I noticed a lot of stellar time from my group mates on twitter, for example one team mate twitted about a beggar on the street she seen walking by, and another team mate talked about someone complimenting her clothes on the bus. I call these things stellar time because they happen randomly, and are not planned. Also I noticed in the tweets that many times people tweeted about their problems and how they were going to overcome their problems. Even I tweeted of a situation I was trying to get out of and how I was going to deal with it. So overall everyone used all types of the three times, but mostly teleological time.

steller time

my life I look at as a series of adventures that are influenced around me and the interaction of others . this would be an example of stellar time. I couldn't picture it being any other way due to the fact that most of my twitter post involve a thought or reaction from others.

TIME

As someone once said “You can’t turn back the clock but you can wind it up again.” Time is a very precious asset that would never go back and is very limited.  24 hours might not even be enough for some us. We can see how different factors influence our time and daily lives categorizing the time in stellar, theological and entropic.

Today’s world is predominated by social media being Twitter and Facebook one of the most famous ones. By being on Twitter for a couple of weeks I noticed people post or “tweet” their thoughts or experiences influenced mostly by stellar time where our everyday life is impacted by situations that are intermingled.  However, teleological time is the one that affected me the most because everything I do or every decision I make has a consequence as in the causality theory.  I personally like better Facebook because I’ve had it for about 5 yrs and I’m already used to it but Twitter can be very useful also.  Previous to this assignment I wouldn’t have created a Twitter account but now I’m starting to like it. Because of its simplicity, Twitter is very easy to use and people can follow their friends, family, favorite artists and even news and be up to date with not only your close ones but with  what’s going on in the world also.

My view of Twitter

• Twitter is like stellar time. Like "The Garden of Forking Paths," there are many ways to live -- everyone chooses a way to live. Seeing all of these at once is stellar.

• Twitter is also a forum for emotions. I noticed that me and my peers posted about how they felt about what they experienced. The emotions we posted about seemed to follow directly, linearly, from the experiences we had. While viewing all of these at one glance of my screen was a stellar experience, the emotions seemed to result from linear timelines; they seemed like the logical consequences of distinct narratives.

Twitter =D

If I had to choose which type of time affects me the most, I'd choose teleological time because I believe that a certain act will eventually lead to another act or event. For example, if I accidentally dropped a quarter near the sewers and someone walking by decides to pick it up. And then this person drops his or her phone in the sewers. I believe that if I hadn't dropped my quarter, they wouldn't have dropped their phone into the sewers. I believe that life is all connected in this enormously large web that connects all events together in some way.

Before this assignment, I had never used Twitter before. In fact, I tried to stay away from most social media websites other than Facebook. I found twitter to be useless and unrewarding. Facebook helped me stay in touch with classmates for academic purposes as well as for old friends to say hi. But now after using Twitter for about a week I can see the aspects of it that give it the reputation that it has. Twitter shows me more about what people think and feel throughout their daily lives and I can actually get their insight and perspective of their lives. After reading many twitter posts over the past week I saw a lot of gloomy posts. I noticed that people posted more often about how stressed they were and the negative aspects of their daily lives. Stress is extremely common during these times of the year because of midterms and jobs and it shows within the twitter posts.
After reading Borge's "Garden of Forking Paths" text I can tell that this story is more of teleological time except there are multiple situations. The story itself is interesting. I didn't expect Yu Tsun to kill Stephen Albert after he told him the answer to a question he's had his entire life. The story that Albert told was about the garden of forking paths. This garden symbolized the idea that when there was a choice of different outcomes, both outcomes would happen. I can tell that the author wanted to express the idea that there are multiple outcomes in life and we're just living in one of them. The idea that we could see the results of each outcome is impossible but the author made it possible in this story.

Twitter from Two Perspectives

Facebook has always been my primary social media outlet. I use it to connect with friends and family, both in the tri-state area and out, as well as it is the most convenient way for me to stay in touch and up to date with school club events, group project discussions and various brands. Only recently did I begin to use Twitter but it was, at first, mainly for intern purposes. Due to my type of work Twitter, to my understanding, is a social networking site that is mainly used for business and brand updates and every so often “retweets” tweets or posts that would either involve the company itself, their partners or newsflashes in that particular companies’ industry; not so much regular day to day thoughts and communication between “regular people”. Most of the tweets were written in stellar time due to the fact that in this day in age, trends quickly change from day to day and it’s part of one’s job to keep up. I saw Twitter from a business perspective (how it’s useful in the advertising world) but this assignment allowed me to view it from my own natural perspective: a young college student trying to find out what’s going on in the world in real time.

At first, I was iffy about the whole tweeting thing. As we can see by the amount of writing I’ve done so far, I’ve got a lot to say when I’ve got something to tell. To say it in 140 characters or less made me realize I’m not on Facebook anymore…(Dorothy joke). As I began tweeting, I saw an entropic pattern like one tweet would be a plea to Starbucks for them to build more Starbucks in Staten Island (as a city college student Starbucks is a must and Erica does not run on Dunkin) and then other tweets would be song lyrics that remind me of my past relationships. When looking over my classmates or my friends’ tweets, theirs were posted in an entropic time as well; one random thought or comment after another. The only “tweet” I found in common out of all of us was there was always one about school. Due to the timing of this assignment, my tweets revolved around me stressing over midterms. Looking over my tweets, paying attention specifically to the timing of a few, we could say that these tweets were written in teleological time and each new tweet was a result of my stress worsening as hours of studying went by or as familiar songs kept coming up on the radio.

Other than what I follow for work, I chose to follow popular blogs like Huffington Post, digital newspapers like the Wall Street Journal, popular celebrity icons like my favorite host Alexa Chung and entrepreneurial magazines such as Fast Company. For the most part, they all follow teleological and stellar time. Depending on what the topic is, it is usually told in stellar time for it always affects someone or a group of people. If it’s a popular trending topic, like a huge story that everyone’s interested in knowing every little detail about as well as can be updated and added to frequently, it is told in teleological time. Example: when the Boston Bombings happened, Twitter was on fire and it was a topic consistently written and talked about online. It affected our entire nation who followed the story from the moment it happened to the bomber’s capture. I wasn’t so much affected by the daily tweets either than I just felt more connected.

Now that I’ve been able to see Twitter from both perspectives, I can safely say the type of time that most influences a person is based on what that specific persons’ thoughts are about as well as the kind of information they are looking for. Like the “Garden of Forking Paths”, depending on how you view life, it can be seen in either teleological, stellar or entropic and sometimes, they intertwine. 

Tweet Tweet

I've been an active Twitter user for almost four years. During these past four years, I've accumulated many followers consisting of mostly high school acquaintances and college friends. In regards to the tweets of these peers it’s hard to choose a type of time which dominates and influences them most. I think it's really all a mix.                                                                                                                                                   Since most of us have the mobile app for Twitter on our cell phones, Twitter is always there.
If it wasn’t so easily accesible, would we bother sharing the things we do on Twitter later in the day with the people we see? Probably not. A majority of the tweets that flood my timeline don’t seem of much importance. They are just things and reactions to those things happening in the moment that in a pre-twitter world we would most likely just tell ourselves in our heads. Now since Twitter is here, right at the palm of our hands, most of us think 'why not tweet it.' It’s like Twitter is this friend you tell these random thoughts throughout the day to because no one else is there in that moment, or even if they were, some of things I share I don't know if I would even bother physically saying. Some examples of these kinds of tweets I've seen on my timeline are: “this girl is so annoying, a 4 page essay is not even a lot, stfu and stop complaining,” "is this girl seriously wearing a dress and heels to school?" and “if I hear Katy Perry’s “Roar” one more time on the radio I’m going to KILL somebody” and “late again for class, waited 15 minutes for the subway... cool.” I scroll through so many of these kinds of tweets a day, and it's funny to think about how twitter is almost therapeutic for people in a way. I'm not saying that these are the only types of tweets posted, but I'd say they are the majority when it comes to peers. People always complaining and criticizing, it takes me by surprise how much negativity there is when I actually decide to read the tweets of the people I follow. You also see people posting their thoughts about what's going on in the world, reactions to what others tweet, and there are a lot of lyrics and quotes. Just before these two were right after each other on my timeline "If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore" and "you just always have to stay positive." I guess these types of tweets are influenced by teleological time considering there must have been something that person had read, witnessed, heard, or experienced to make a person feel the need to tweet that.
What I do find interesting dealing with entropic time, is that when something severe randomly happens to somebody, you would think Twitter is the last thing on their mind, but that's not true. I’ve seen a guy I went to high school with upload a picture of his freshly sliced open hand from construction work that wound up needing to get 40 stitches (only know this because of twitter). It's crazy to think that he was like "my hand is deeply sliced open and I'm losing a massive amount of blood, but hey, coworker, take a pic of me with it to post on social media. Other tweets include somebody posting about how their dog just got hit by a car, and I often find myself replying with a sorry because I guess attention and sympathy is what we're looking for when we share such personal things. It's really interesting how deep or how vague people can be. Some use it as a diary almost, and others post thing that are as interesting as "good morning" and "work until 8."

The Type of time that most effects the lives of people on twitter will have to be stellar time. Most people like to read about daily scenarios that people experience during their day. In my opinion you don't want tweets that are to mundane but you also don't want tweets that go in to so much detail that they're annoying to read. Most people including myself visit social media in order to fit socializing into busy days without having to go through the process of leaving your home or place of work. This is why i find that stellar time post are the most effective its like a conversation with your friends list that doesn't need to formally start or end. When i look through tweets or timelines i usually just skim the reading so it doesn't affect me much. Also nothing really ruptured my daily construct of living this weekend.

When twitter first came about, I was vocally very anti-twitter.  I thought it was a stupid website, and did not know why anyone would have created an account.  Then I realized a lot of celebrities were creating accounts and talking to their fans, which was the reason I initially joined.  I am a HUGE fan of pro-wrestling and rock & roll music, so I first signed up to follow wrestlers and bands.  It was a good way to get updates on concerts, new music, live wrestling shows, and just every day silly antics.
Now that social media is a vital part of today's society, pretty much EVERYBODY has a twitter.  TV shows, movies, actors, comedians, other performers, pretty much anything or anyone you can think of has an account to connect with their audience.  I know follow 1005 accounts, and have 281 followers.  It is not a lot, but not too bad seeing as I'm just your everyday, average Joe.  Most of the people I do follow are in the famous realm one way or another.  Then there are a bunch of friends, work associates, and classmates I do also follow as well.

I think, based off of Twitter, that mostly technological time influences everyday life.  What I tweet nowadays is mostly just randomness.  Tweets about TV shows I'm gonna watch, what concerts I am going to, complaints about annoying people/school/work, things of that nature.  Classmates and other peers fall under the same category.  They would just tweet everyday things like when and what they are eating that meal, when they are going to work or doing homework, and whatnot.

For example, classmate Erica tweeted on October 24th, "Tweeting and I have massive midterm studying to do this upcoming weekend."  Another classmate, Alyssa, tweeted on October 27th "too tired to think straight enough to get my work done, but too overwhelmed and stressed to be able to fall asleep and nap"  A lot of people who are going to school and who work have a lot of trouble with time management (including myself).  There is always schoolwork to be done but people have jobs and other personal issues to take care of, so it is hard to sort out your time.

I think "Garden of Forking Paths" could be a little confusing, even for twitter users.  Borges does a lot of switching back and forth between the characters.  The main 'time' used in the story would probably be stellar time, though there are both technological and entropic parts of the story as well.  Murder is the worst crime there is, which leads to chaotic time without question.  

~Steven Chanzis

Twitter has just received an IPO that values them in the Billions of dollars. We see that its power is from the influence of the users that will remain with the business after it turns for-profit. The reasoning is simple: connectivity. Not on the basis of social networking, for there is Facebook to accomplish most of the "friending" and "liking" what nots. Twitter serves as the most effective tool for spreading imminent thoughts to the tweeter's network. And that is the main objective, at least in my opinion. 

Of course, many of my followers are my friends and family, and vice versa. They provide me news of their happenings--things that go on in their lives. But twitter also allows me to connect with political figureheads, celebrities, and monks. It breaks the ice and privacy issues by really just limiting the connection with posts that have a maximum of 140 characters. And I believe this is really all we need to stay informed, for the most part. So in the matter of my use of twitter, I would say we follow stellar time, where tweeters have no part in physically taking part of each other's role in our lives. Yet we influence each other with a continuous stream of our beliefs, current events, and knowledge. We may not consciously realize it, but our lives are all connected with every tweet we read.

 The Garden of Forking Paths is unique. Elegance would be the wrong word to describe the design of the story. Its complexity makes it difficult to understand the plot, and the switching back and forth of characters and places really undermines the conventional method of straight through reading, like we do in books. Instead, the texts themselves switch back and forth, like we do when researching online for a paper assignment. It really seems to be entropic unrelated to the other at sometimes when the paper requires mutlitple themes to be explained. Yet the end present the last piece of the puzzle, weaving all of the pieces on the table into a well written story. 

Tweet Tweet

I think Twitter is very interesting. It is a norm in today's society but definitely a part of a revolution in history. People use it to convey thoughts, express opinions about current events, post pictures and just share what they want to share about themselves to the world. I say it is interesting because there are many different uses for it for different people. You can also attain valuable information by following certain educational twitter users, read articles that people post and see the world from different perspectives. Generally when things occur throughout the day of a regular 'tweeter', depending on what it is, it may or may not be tweeted about. I think the question is why they tweet what they tweet.

Teleological time is of the essence when it comes to Twitter. People do not tweet things randomly. There is a reason, and there is a cause. It is inevitable that cause-and-effects are the gears that get our lives in motion. Same goes for the Twittersphere. For a simple example, if users are about to devour the most delicious looking meal, they'll tweet about it. If they feel strongly about a current controversial issue, they'll tweet about it. Now let's think outside of the box. One can directly cause someone they never met before to tweet about something they normally wouldn't have tweeted about. If I stepped on a piece of gum that someone else spit out in the subway, it can cause me to tweet about it. There are innumerable lives that are being lived simultaneously. If that one little gum spitting action caused me to tweet about the stupid gum situation, that also led to a retweet from one of my followers which also caused a basketball player that follows that follower to read what I wrote to his teammates, resulting in a tweet about 'favorite gum' from his teammate, we can think about the endless possibilities of tweets effected from constant actions from people's everyday lives, let alone one gum spitting action. So it is not surprising to overlook Teleological time as the most influential kind of time regarding twitter, because after all, everything is caused by something.

Many people use twitter to express how they feel about certain issues and their views are influenced by teleological, stellar and entropic time. The most common however, were teleological and stellar time. I would often read posts about random events that take place in people's everyday life such as something that happened that day, or present and future plans, or their views on a particular subject. Hardly did anyone share tweets that seemed to relate to entropic time, although I'm sure this is not unusual.  Maybe I need to follow more people.

Posting on twitter does not come very natural to me because of time constraints but my posts are mainly influenced by teleological time.  I like that twitter keeps me in the loop about things that matter to me.  I do not really care for the superficial aspect of it where people post just about anything because they have an audience. I try to exclude the private events in my life from these mediums and tend to keep the topics very general.  However, my life (outside if Twitter) is very much influenced by stellar time.  There is always something that happened as a result of another event and scenarios in my life are very intermingled.  Consequentially, I am always trying to figure out the "what if's." "What if I had not forgotten that book and didn't have to turn back, then I would have caught that bus, and...?"  Thankfully, much of my life is not affected by entropic time - although I beg to differ at this very moment after a very distressing phone conversation. Smh. These chaotic random events should be experienced few and far between because of how they tend to impact people's lives.

The Garden of Forking Paths was a very interesting story that allowed the reader to be pulled into its imaginary dimension.  It was so unpredictable and Borges makes it very difficult for the reader to figure out what will come next.  It introduced the idea of infinite existence, possibilities and parallel universe which I believe was more associated with stellar time, although I could identify all three types; teleological, stellar and entropic at different points in this story. What stood out to me was the whole matter of somehow achieving immortality by means of a never ending story, or by different scenarios that keep connecting. This really captures that idea of infinite time.

       In my case, i was never interested in joining tweeter, even after my professor suggested that we should have an account i felt like it was a burden to have one. I never saw myself interested in following anyone and it even made no sense to me. I was more into Facebook because its all about reading what other people are posting, viewing profiles, pictures and timelines too, and more so commenting whenever one feels like doing it. However for the past few days that i joined tweeter, i forced myself to focus on the benefits of it, and i actually saw a few advantages of using it, i was able to follow what my friends were doing or undergoing as far as life is concerned, and i found that  most of us are sailing in the same boat, like almost everyone had something negative to say about life, its all about hectic life.However since am still new in tweeter and not so active in it as i should be, i haven't followed many friends yet, it feels like a public way of sending a text message to the world.
      When it comes to time, i think stellar time is the most effective to many people's daily lifestyles, because through expressing our views to the public we get to realize that despite what we are being through in life, life still goes on out there. And majority of people are living the same lifestyles.Though there's a little bit of entropic time which comes with natural calamities especially for those who are undergoing breakups, or death in family, they can easily relate their lifestyles to entropic, meaning chaotic life which is meaningless. Few of the people that i followed would write stuff like "life sucks". to me it felt like they are almost giving up on life. As per me, up until now i still hold my thumbs up on Facebook hoping with time i will be able to view tweeter in a different way.Still learning how to get used to it.

Twitter in a Timely manner

When I first heard of Twitter and it’s mass popularity in 2008 I was not a fan, compared to Facebook I thought Twitter was pretentious. Doing this assignment-using twitter, I found that it was quite helpful in its simplicity. The 140 characters or less model is good for two reasons, one being that every tweet is directly to the point, two it’s not as time consuming as Facebook. To further expand on Twitter’s edge over Facebook, I really enjoy Twitter’s use for quick news feeds. An example would be following The New York Times, following news publications on Twitter frequently give anyone a quick headline and article link to breaking news. Whereas Facebook, we would hear the news from a 3rd source and the news information can be distorted. Getting news information that affects you is always critical especially in entropic and teleological time.

For me personal, my time is usually affected teleological or during entropic times. I am student who takes the LIRR to and from school, so when I found out two weeks ago on twitter (via following News12 LI) that a tree fell on one of the tracks of the train that I ride (Babylon branch), I had to quickly adjust my route to school to make it to school on time. That day, and that incident was an example of entropic time, an unexpected occurrence of a tree falling on a train track disrupting the lives of hundreds of people who use the Babylon branch to get to and from work or school. Thankfully I followed News12 LI on twitter and received the feed before I got on the bus to get to the train station.

In another instance, one of my classes was cancelled and a classmate of mine tweeted it first so everyone indadvertedly got the notification, before any of us read the email from our professor. Just like “The Garden of Forking Paths”, time is stellar, entropic, and indifferent to the way we live our lives and interact with on another. Twitter, unlike other social networks, is really useful when you’re lucky enough to receive a tweet in a timely manner. 

Time

I’ve had my account since Twitter took off a couple years back. I’ve returned to it recently and realized that I actually prefer Twitter to Facebook. Why? Well, Facebook is a great way to “remember” birthdays and keep in touch with people you went to high school with, the crowd you used to hang out with, that friend of a friend who drove you home that one time, etc. Twitter keeps things simple: it gives me an insight of the everyday lives of people I actually know—people who I choose to follow whereas on Facebook, accepting a friend request is just the polite thing to do (unless it’s a creep). It’s interesting to see what kind of lives these people lead, what inspires them, what makes their day and what breaks it.

This assignment forced me to think twice about the kind of tweets that were being posted by the people I follow, and I saw that they mostly follow entropic time. Tweets are posted randomly throughout the person’s day and one doesn’t necessarily follow the other. In life, as well as in “The Garden of Forking Paths”, time is stellar or teleological, but unless we are constantly on our Twitter app updating every few minutes on what exactly is going on at that moment, all we can see are random little specks of a person’s day through their Twitter page. For example, a person I follow tweeted about how shitty their early morning commute was, and then tweeted about their fantasy basketball pick nine hours later. Those two tweets definitely do not have anything to do directly with each other; his fantasy basketball pick was not a result of him being stuck on the LIRR due to signal problems. I don’t know the chain of events that triggered an urge in that person to tweet, but I do know of two random, very specific moments in their day. That is what I consider to be the whole concept of Twitter: entropic time.

What is time? It is yesterday, today and tomorrow. Time is now, right mow when I am typing this text. Weird. I am always waiting for something to happen in the future, dreaming about things, pretending... Also, I love to think about things that already happened, think what could have I done differently, love to analyze why it happened this or that way and it made me feel the what it made me feel... So, my point is personally I always live in my past or in my future.. I never really enjoy the current moment... Even right now I want to finish writing this assignment as soon as possible and go have a coffee with my friend.. Again, I am already experiencing future.

When I read my tweets and other people's tweets, they all write what they are going to do or what they did and how it made them feel. A large number of people write what they are doing at the moment as well. In my opinion, most of the people experience things through teleological and stellar time.

The question in my assignment "Were you at all affected by what your peers were writing?" seems funny to me. I was not affected at all. I was reading, sometimes I will comment but I cant even remember one tweet I read during these past two weeks.

Time is like water. If you lost it - you lost it and there is no way to go back 5 seconds or 20 minutes ago. That is way I try to control myself and enjoy the current moment, not spend life pretending and dreaming.

The Value of Time

The value of time is definitely is very precious. Time is very important and we need to learn to manage our time. As individuals we need to learn how to manage our time to meet our goals, to spend time with your family and friends. We try divide our time in sections to maximize our goals. Twitter is a social platform to express information, emotions, ideas, our life to followers I notice how our time is influenced by things, friends and events that we experienced through our daily life. It can be insignificant to others but expressing our feelings can be therapeutic and healing in a way since we get to let out all our struggles.

Reading my fellow classmates tweets, I realized that we all affected by theological time, stellar time, and entropic or chaotic time in some way or another. It's a combination of the three types times. I feel like stellar influences most of since  intermingling scenarios affect our daily lives. My classmates manage to tweet about thing that they are doing in their daily life and they seem to do fun things. I happened to being going through a hard time however, reading positive tweets are definitely helping be out to get over this rough patch of  life.  Twitter distract us from the struggles of our daily lives. Life can be very harsh and sometimes I need stress reliever. Twitter does help us learn about each other. My classmate seem be having fun and write about things they are doing. Some of my classmates have midterms and others manage to go see Sensation. Some of their tweet does influenced me because they keep me positive and some of their tweets are funny so it helps make my day go faster. Twitter help us connect in more ways that just informational. I like to follow inspirational individuals that help me grow as a person and help deal with daily life struggles. Managing to read tweets while waiting and realizing that we are individuals who are not so different from each other.

Twitter - Time

Time, there is no words to describe the time, I mean even my philosophy professor suffered when he was trying to explain what time really is. Some believe that it is something people made up for limitations in our daily lives. Some believe it is an endless cycle that we are stuck in. According to my English class there are three categories of time; Firstly, Teleological time, which is like a cause and effect relation, beginning leads to end, linear time that relates to a purpose life. Secondly, Stellar time in which our life consists of mixture scenarios that affect our daily lives. Lastly, Chaotic time its life's events are completely random, and therefore there is no purpose or meaning to life. For me, time is a system where people put their events in sequence order from the past through the present into the future.

            It is true that time always fly fast when you are enjoy it, it goes slow if you are  in pain.  In our life, things happen randomly in every moment of time. But I believe everything happens for a reason therefore I see life as it is already planned for me to live it. It's like Teleological time, cause and effect. We cannot predict what's going to happen in our lives in future and what's going to affect our lives. But the actions we take somehow effects our lives.

Twitter came to life in 2006 and I am using it since 2009, I love twitter, I share how I feel with my friends all the time. Twitter is a perfect platform for people to talk about same interests. On Twitter, one single tweet can evolve into full blown conversations. Someone may post one thing about the soccer and from that, depending on who posted it and how shocking the comment may sound, people starts tweeting like crazy, from one tweet the tweets can go into the hundreds, thousands, or even millions. This is why I think it’s more teleological, there is cause, a start point and from that point it goes universal.
