All a-flutter

First off, waking up/sleeping is dumb. I think we shouldn't have to do it because sometimes I find it annoying. That's right. I reserve and exercise my right to protest a basic (not to mention necessary) restorative function of our bodies because I'm annoyed. Hey, I never said I wasn't American. But yeah, sleeping is one of the greatest plagues visited upon humanity.

Bismallah, I hope you know I'm kidding.

Let's talk about Twitter. I use it myself, based on the same reasoning I express in my header. (^look^up^) However, complaining does not follow logic here, so although I use it, I will still express that it's silly. Why? Because of the people who have morphed it into their only source on information. There was an article that I read, oh, when was that, maybe the beginning of last week, when all those hackers were attacking Twitter and Facebook, do you recall this? Anyway, there were some people who, when Twitter was down, were all "OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE" and I think that's kinda sad. Now, I know I'm being hypocritical, because I also use the interwebs to stay connected to life, the universe and everything, but seriously, receiving all the information you need through something as shallow as Twitter? Whose very nature, indeed, limits and filters the amount of useful information one can actually receive? Gah, I mean, c'mon people.

Then there's stuff like this which just makes me chuckle, although it's not terribly scientifically based, as the article points out.

Basically I guess what it all comes down to is that the interwebs is nifty and you can do some really shiny things with it, but there is such a thing as taking it toooooo far. I suppose we need those people who do take it that far, because without them, development would stagnate. But I don't think we all need to be pioneers of rearranging cultural mores in our head to the point where 140-character updates become more important than everything else.

Another thing about Twitter-what is it with the sexbots? Am I alone in having those? I mean, I can't say I'm surprised, but it's just weird.

Ah well. Time to get up.
