Twitter is very cool for those inclined to use it and potentially harmless. Luddite that I am - I oppose all technologies, especially social communication technologies that alter public sphere behaviors - but then, you know I'm an asshole when it comes to this topic. When Eisenhower warned us that the “transfer of power from the mere musket and little canon all the way to the hydrogen bomb in a single lifetime” was too much for us to handle intellectually and emotionally, I conjure up images of 17 year olds stepping off of curbs into speeding traffic - too busy texting to see life in front of them. It's just a phone kiddies, just a phone... Twitter is pretty frickin' sweet though - pity i am old and outdated, my arthritis flares up too much for me too use it properly. Drinks soon???
