Made the leap to Twitter tonight. It seems important to follow the herd these days. It did not work out well for the buffalo, but humans seem to think it is the way to go. Twitter may be the fastest growing of the electronic herds. PBS ran a story this morning that CDC is getting more swine flu hits on Twitter than You Tube is getting on Susan Boyle. Imagine. The disease trackers getting more hits than an amateur singer from across the pond. Science trumps heart throb. What is next? It is enough for me. Can't wait for television to give me my daily dose of CDC news. Daily, heck, hourly. No, by the minute. I am in with electronic parakeet. Me and Tweetie forever.
You just have to keep up with this stuff. Remember when it was cool to have an account on Prodigy? I think it was called Prodigy. Wow, was it that long ago? Then AOL became the rage. Grand kids two generations from now will read about it in their history books. Well maybe not. The news says that schools are outlawing activities where one kid wins and another loses. I guess the Christians were right, Darwin was wrong all along. There is no survival of the fittest. Everyone is same. No one does better than anyone else.
It is all part of our economic woes. Don't believe me? Try buying a red pen. They barely exist. Can't have a kid getting a red mark from a teacher. Red signifies something. Not sure what. Might pain the little sucker forever to get a grade in red. Too bad for all the red pen makers in the world. Guess they will just have to get used to living on their unemployment check like everyone else.
