Just kidding. But seriously, this reminds me of this book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neal Postman who argues that "the medium is the message", sort of. More like the medium that your are using almost determines the content of what you are trying to convey. In the same way that a tweet could not contain the message you just conveyed in your essay. But, when most people can't write essays, can they even understand the ideas that only can be describe in essays? Hmmm... Maybe all that TV isn't good for us :( Wow uh, one question: Where are the pictures? Just kidding.
