Flutter: Critical Thinking

It is obvious that the Flutter video is slamming Twitter because of their 140 character limit status update. They try to get the point across that we, as social network users, want the fastest option available to us. The typical reason for this is because we want convenience and simplicity. By posting short comments and quick Tweets we get our point across without wasting time. I agree that when I log on to Facebook or Twitter I want convenience, but I, like the Flutter producers, think that limiting the amount of characters in a status is ridiculous. I argue that even though these social networks are supposed to cut down the amount of time we waste, we in fact waste more time on them then we do anywhere else. Between updating our status, checking our friends profiles, and chatting we spend vast amounts of precious time on websites such as Twitter. I find it ironic how we engage in the very behavior on social networks that those networks are supposed to prevent.
