"Pardon me!" (Not a picture of Jack Burton, by the way)
Twitter creeps me out a little. Though I enjoy seeing people’s Facebook statuses occasionally, there is something very unsettling about the amount and consistency of information that Twitter users put out for the world to see.
The website Instructables has a brilliantly hilarious bit of social commentary on the matter.
If Twitter is supposed to be a document of life as it happens, then it should really document life, indiscriminately, as it happens without interference. If it fails to do this, then life then becomes the space between “tweets” (Twitter posts).
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance, to be able to update Twitter with life events without actually interfering with the event themselves. The documentation of life, henceforth, needs to be automated.
That said, I decided the first part of life that needed to be documented was my daily flatulence at work. I am not going to lie, I am a gassy individual. Since my flatulence is a part of life, it would be fraudulent of me to document life as it happens without documenting these occurrences.
