Twitter is obviously a great way to remain connected with friends and family over the internet. However, Twitter’s founders: Evan Williams, Noah Glass, Jack Dorsey, and Biz Stone have taken their innovative thinking to a whole new level. Their social media website is beginning to work its wonders in various fields of study.
It’s easy to see that Twitter has turned into a therapeutic paradise for everyone that needs a helpful hand.
“I’m so unbelievably stressed. I have a C in Geometry, I haven’t even started studying for my permit test, AND I have swimming class tomorrow, so what do I wear? I can’t even take life right now” tweeted a North Penn High School sophomore. When questioned about the necessity of her tweet, she proclaimed,
“It’s not about other people reading my tweet; it’s about the fact that tweeting relieves my overwhelmingly high levels of stress. Don’t you you understand that, as a 15 year old woman, I have a lot on my plate? I need a mediator of some sort, and Twitter works perfectly.”
“Twitter is great for so many reasons. But the best part is that it’s always there for me when I need someone to talk to. There is just something about tweeting that resolves all my issues. Knowing that all of my followers are reading what I have to say makes me feel extra important.” commented North Penn High School senior Chris Paolone.
He continued by admitting that he has thought about deleting the application from his phone on several occasions, but, “it’s too tough to remove something from life that has brought so much internal comfort and relief.” Scientists are not yet sure how Twitter removes stress from the lives of its users, but Tweeters everywhere are reveling in its therapeutic experience.
Twitter’s motley contributions upon today’s society even stretch to the medical field. One North Penn Senior felt extreme physical relief from her grueling knee injury after tweeting “MY KNEE HURTS SO BAD UGH WHY ME?” She acknowledged that right as she hit the tweet button, informing all of her followers that her knee hurt, “all of the pain immediately went away. I could walk, run, or sprint without enduring even the least bit of pain.”
Some adolescent twitter advocates are even utilizing twitter to begin their well-deserved philosophy career. The depth of some North Penn students’ tweets range from “Ponder this: why do we say our computer screen froze when it’s still above 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the room?” to “Mini pierogis are life.” Initially, I had trouble taking Twitter seriously, questioning its necessity in the lives of almost every teenager in the United States; however, now that I have seen the insightful commentary many high school scholars can bring to your Twitter timeline, I will certainly be encouraging its presence on your smart phone or home computer.
