There's this new thing called 'twitter' that's all the rage apparently.
It's supposed to be a new way of communicating, if that's what you want to
call it. I don't completely understand it, but it seems like you can open
an account and 'twitter' with your friends and relatives or you can go into
the general twitter.com page and twitter with everybody in the world. A
tweet is a few words long along the lines of "I just ate a cheese sandwich"
or "I just washed my dog". It's supposedly a way to stay connected although
why somebody in Sweden would care that I just washed my dog, with no further
explanation, or why I would care that somebody in Singapore just bought a
pair of socks is beyond me. Twitter, if it really catches on, seems to be
pushing people into messaging without communicating. There's still
thoughtful discussion out there, blogs and the like, but generally it seems
to me that the trend isn't toward Harvard. Maybe things will turn around,
but pessimist that I am, I wouldn't bet on it.

it be like in 10, 20, 50 years? Will we all have Harvard educations just a
click away? It don't seem fair. I coulda been a contender.
