As more of these newfangled dumbass technologies role out, I feel less and less inclined to partake. What the fuck is Twitter? I dunno. Don't understand it. Don't wanna understand it. I don't use Facebook or Myspace, either. I'm only 24 but sometimes I feel like the stereotypical old geezer who refuses to learn how to use a computer. Fuck this shit. This is the kind of crazy surplus of soulless information and overstimulation that is defining this generation, and I would rather let it pass me by.

I was kinda wondering what the fuck Twitter was myself....

A Load of Twitter

The clinical psychologist Oliver James has his reservations. ?Twittering stems from a lack of identity. It?s a constant update of who you are, what you are, where you are. Nobody would Twitter if they had a strong sense of identity.?

?We are the most narcissistic age ever,? agrees Dr David Lewis, a cognitive neuropsychologist and director of research based at the University of Sussex. ?Using Twitter suggests a level of insecurity whereby, unless people recognise you, you cease to exist. It may stave off insecurity in the short term, but it won?t cure it.?

For Alain de Botton, author of Status Anxiety and the forthcoming The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, Twitter represents ?a way of making sure you are permanently connected to somebody and somebody is permanently connected to you, proving that you are alive. It?s like when a parent goes into a child?s room to check the child is still breathing. It is a giant baby monitor.?

Actually you can just text Twitter updates.

Here's the best reason so far to be on Twitter:

Of course, it helps if you live in LA.

I started following Rainn Wilson the other day.  His tweets are pretty funny.

I don't suppose you happen to know if his wife has one?  That is something I'd like to read.
