Now following Flutter on Twitter
The video which was created by V Slate in an attempt to mock the American people and their use of twitter. They are trying to say that society is always looking and developing faster ways to communicate. They are using an example that completely exaggerates the advancement of technology and the benefit people can get from it. The video is making many assumptions in its argument. First off they are implying that people abuse Twitter to a large degree. Although Twitter has become a huge phenomenon and somewhat of a popularity contest it is not true that all people use to Twitter for this purpose. Most users of Twitter actually use the tool for beneficial reasons such as receiving news or quick updates from friends. The video is also poking fun at how quickly technology is advancing. As technology grows information has definitely become easier to access. However it is not our fault that new tools with quick information are being developed. Why wouldn't we want to use a tool that is faster and more advanced than a previous tool? It is not that the American people are greedy or needy of faster information it is that this technology is constantly being developed and placed in front of us.

I like the point you make in your last sentence. Twitter and other technological tools become such fads that people are just expected to use them even though they may not be completely necessary.
