Flutter

Since the rise of Twitter, there have been many skeptics that have mocked the idea of posting ideas in 140 characters or less. Of these is the video regarding Flutter. The youtube video of flutter is one that describes a (imaginary) program that is like twitter, but limits its "flaps" to 26 characters or less. this can be seen as a direct attack on how many see that 140 characters on twitter is way to little to be able to express yourself. Despite the fact that i find that 140 characters per tweet is cutting it a bit short, i find the idea of twitter is one that does fit well in today's fast-pace society.
Nowadays, people have come to use technology more and more, and therefore have somewhat secluded themselves to their little devices and gadgets such as their laptops and cell phones. This has caused a small detachment or seclusion from the world and social activity. The reason for this can be that to succeed, some people find it necessary to be on task at all times. Therefore it is understandable that people do not find time for social activity in their busy lives. Thus the fact that twitter is a quick and concise method of communication is one that allows these busy people to stay in contact with others, or letting people know how they are. It limits the time of distraction, and allows people to keep some of those aspects that make them humans and not machines. In conclusion, although 140 characters is very small, it has allowed twitter to adapt social activity to a fast-paced society dependent on technology
