Pre-Twitter

I have heard many, many things about Twitter, not to be overdramatic, but all of them are bad. Personally, I’m not excited to create a Twitter account, partially because I think Twitter has destroyed our grade. I know it's naive to blame the fights, the rumors, and the bullying all on twitter, when really it's the people who tweet who are to blame. I just don't understand the way some people use social media. We, my classmates and I, will start by creating/recreating a "professional" twitter account, adding appropriate details about us and posting socially-acceptable tweets only. I'm a little concerned with the entire "professional" look, I am nervous I don't know how to make myself appeal more serious. This will require restraint, I can't tweet about everything I do, although I'm not sure I would have don't think I would have don't his anyway. I'm going to keep from spilling my political opinions all over the internet because everything I've heard about, it only encourages a fight. I think I'm going to use this new power to find people doing wrong and maybe to correct them. I.e. If someone was easily being bullied or a gang of invisible judgers were "roasting" I would like to think I'd step in just politely say it isn't right what they're doing. I know twitter has a sensitive atmosphere, where one balloon could fly up too high and get caught in the blades of an airplane. As if that analogy makes any sense to you whatsoever. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/02/the-unbearable-lightness-of-tweeting/385484/ Our theory of posting to get our "beliefs and words" out for others to here isn't really working. Twitter isn't as great of a resource that the experts describe it as. People post educational links, protest links, political issue/debate links, they post what they think is important and what they expect people to see. While we have an expectation of a reality that can only happen by chance, people don't see what you think they do. They read the titles and maybe retweet, they really aren't understand or comprehending the issue you're trying to address. So why do we tweet if it doesn't actually work? Well, it's time I find out.
