Module 1, assignment 5

     Twitter, I can not say this is my favorite thing on the web.  I did tweet four or five times in one week, but that's no good.  I just can't seem to get the point of it.  I would probably love this if I were a high school student and all of my friends tweeted.  I could stay on the phone for hours as a teenager, so if this were around back then, I would probably live on twitter. 
     However, none of my friends tweet, and I am an essentially dull and boring person.  I just can't understand why anyone would want to read about what I'm making for dinner.  If I had a striking wit or some profound statements, yes I could see tweeting it to the world.  My grocery list, I just don't understand why anyone would take the time to read about it. 
     I know it is no excuse for not tweeting more, but if it is any consolation, I don't facebook either.  I do have friends on facebook, none of them that I know of are on twitter, and they have begged me to open a facebook account.  One of my friends actually read one of me tweets.  She asked me why my tweets were that dull because she thinks I'm hilarious.  She didn't understand why I couldn't just type up what I would say to her on the phone.  I talk about my life and things that are important to me on the phone, none of which would I want to share with the general public at large.  I can hear my father in the back of my head turning the channel away from, "The Jerry Springer Show."  He used to say, "Even if I did that; I wouldn't go out in public and tell everyone about it." 
     I'm generally a very private person.  I just don't like sharing anything in depth on such a public forum.  What you put in cyberspace is there forever.  I don't want my kids thirty years from now saying, "Mom, OMG.  I know you didn't put that on the internet."
