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.

Time in our life

     Time waits for no man. Time always fly fast when we enjoy it, it goes slow if you are not suffering in your

 life. In our life, things happen randomly in every moment of time. It's like Entropic, or chaotic time. It's

 completely randomness. We cannot predict what's going to happen in our lives in future and what's going to 

affect our lives.

        I use twitter not often than Facebook. I think both of them are basically reflect the  Entropic, or chaotic 

time. you just can see people or yourself post or share random stuff in each moment. Sometime I post a 

status about saying how hard of my class project is. Later in the evening I post that having BBQ party in my 

friend's house. These random events mixes together can affect what you going to do in the future. For 

example, one of my friends tweet that "Watching NBA Heat vs Bulls." I would put my homework away 

watch NBA first. or someone saying she is going to study whole night for the next day's midterm, It would 

motive me to review or study harder. We have too many things to do in our lives and we need to handle and 

manage how to use our time efficiently.

       Time make an very important role in our life. We cannot go back past and also cannot predict our 

future. However, we can live in present and look back what we regret and enjoy. So we can  handle our 

time  to have a better life in future.

Time Machine

The most popular phrase, “Time is money”. This is true. I like my works and life go smoothly. A good time management is a must. I always put myself into teleological time category. During the school, I always use a notebook to schedule my work every hour for the entire week. I do this because there are so much works everyday.  I schedule the time to wake up, babysitting, feeding the baby, study, homework, and more. Without the schedule book, I may forget to complete all my daily tasks.

In twitter, it falls into stellar time category. People like to share their diary on the blogger. I use facebook more than Twitter. I think people in facebook share much more detail about their daily life and reveal more privacy than twitter because they like to post their pictures about their bedroom, their dresses, their perfect bodies, their couples or loves and more. It’s almost no privacy. They also like share their happy and most exciting moment on facebook everyday. In twitter, people are like writing long story and better writer.


After reading of Borges' text, I don’t learn anything from twitter. I do learn a lot from the class, just not on this hypertext or twitter. Facebook and twitter just helps to keep me and my friends together and put our friendship last longer. It helps my friends and I know what’s going on in our life and what we doing daily. So when my friend and I hang out, we know where we up to. Lastly I don’t find myself running in the circle.

Twitter


Although many of us go about our day sometimes with complete disregard for time, I think it is safe to say that we do not get back the time that has passed us by.  How many times don’t we say that there aren’t enough hours in a day or the complete opposite, we feel like the day is never going to end.  What’s interesting is that in reality, time is moving at the same speed it always has and far more interesting, is that there are billions of activities and conversations all happening at the same time around the globe.
 Twitter is a great example of how things happen in stellar time.  I was never an avid user of Twitter; as a matter of fact, I only started using Twitter recently.  However, what I have observed the last few days is that people are interchangeably linked in some way.  Several hot topics mentioned were topics that shared the common interest of many, such topics as the Baseball World Series and college life.  These topics connected individuals because the topics opened up relative conversations.
In stellar time, the events or scenarios that occur, intermingle with one another and affect our daily lives; almost like a cause and effect.  On Twitter, the ‘tweets’ posted start with one simple comment then evolve into full blown conversations.  Someone may post one thing about the Baseball World Series and from that, depending on who posted it and how outrageous the comment may sound, the tweets can go into the hundreds, thousands, or even millions.  Tweets form their own revolutions, sometimes with one group supporting a specific tweet while another group is against the topic being discussed.
Personally, I do not allow for other people’s comments or expressed moods dictate how I may feel about a particular subject.  However, I do understand how media can have such a strong impact on people’s daily lives and how it contributes to forming one’s own opinion. 

A Moment.

I've had twitter for a few years now.
I have a love hate relationship with twitter.
I've grown on twitter.
I've grown with twitter.
I've become friends with people because of twitter.
I've lost relationships because of twitter.
Twitter always listens, even when you think you're tweeting to yourself.
Someone is always reading.
Someone is always tweeting.
I love to tweet.
It's all random.
I tweet while I'm on the toilet sometimes,
while I ride the train, do my laundry, or get bored in class.
I tweet lyrics, quotes,
& on occasion I tweet about how I feel when I go through the motions of life.
At times I see life through entropic time.
Total chaos & randomness.
It's reflected in my tweets.
One moment I'm tweeting about how the man sitting next to me on the train is taking a selfie
& then I jump to how I can't deal with having stepped in dogshit while not paying attention to where I was going because I was tweeting about what song I like most on an album..
Does it make life meaningless to look at it as an entropic watch? I believe you can still find purpose in the chain of random events and MOMENTS one has day to day.
Everything in life, even when planning, comes unexpededly.
Our emotions, reactions, all of that is random half the time..
With life being a chain of random events, doesn't that categorize it as being somewhat StellerTimeish? Scenarios that affect our daily lives.
Yesterday's random might influence Today's random .. which would mean it also falls under
Teleological time? Cause and effect. Giving life it's purpose.
But I was able to find the purpose in all types of times so is there really, 3 different types of times?
