Twiiter Stuff: Smothering Creativity.

Personally, I think forcing people to say whatever they want to say in 140 characters or less promotes creativity. It forces  overwhelmingly narcissistic individuals who want to narrate their entire lives for others to skim through and roll their eyes in boredom to simplify "I went to the mall and I bought some food, music, and shoes... more shoes... then left the mall and met some friends and went out and got some dinner and ate some food, but I didn't like my food so I didn't leave a tip... then I brushed my teetht again because I just couldn't help but felt like there was something in my teeth..." and so on, into "I went shopping. Bought stuff." I think that sometimes revision, especially when writing things that are only going to waste other individuals' time is very important. I think twitter and texting do influence the way we write. Those of us who do twitter and text a lot, use a greater amount of simple, or incomplete sentences.

  1. I agree! Being concise is especially important especially if you have nothing important to say!
