Twitter, to my mind, is the final mind-shart of a dying Mediocrity Deity. I find it to be reductive to the point of pointlessness. And where pointless information can be entertaining and witty on occasion, a tweet is more often than not bland, unappealing, and as invigorating as a poleaxe to the frontal lobe. I apologise if this offends those of you who tweet, really I do. It's not meant as a personal attack - I fear the technology itself is at fault. Perhaps it is my bitter loathing of reductive technologies - phones that do everything else except worse; texting (and no, I refuse to believe that Txt Spk is the "next step" of the English language - it's not a linguistic progression, it's just deficient) ...to name but two. The human brain spent years evolving a filter for all of that inane internal running commentary, and what do we do? We dice all of that higher mind in order to relay the thanklessly bland minutiae of existence? No ta, chaps, not for me.
tl;dr - Tweet? Get off my lawn! Rassin' frassin' youth of today.
