Electronics; from newspapers to twitter …


The Sunday Times, The Washington Post … these names usually ring a lot of bills … what about twitter … well it sure have more readers than the these newspapers …


So, how did it actually move from collection the newspaper from your home door in the morning with the Coffee until getting tweets on your smartphone before going to the Bathroom in the morning … well … simple I guess, it all started with one step that followed the other and so on and so forth.

Basically, newspapers were used for centuries … but generally speaking, twitter got famous in less than 5 years … you would say “hm, interesting, how did that happen” … it happened when a lot of people reached the point we call these days “The Era of Speed” … reaching that point made “some people” even impatient to get news or wait for the clock to ding to watch the news on TV.

So, it all started with I.N.T.E.R.N.E.T “as in inter the web or net”, some decades ago, where it was only available to so little people and government agencies … then after some time it did eventually come out to public “but not all countries”, after that “Google” started which was a “wow” and still is for random people with random things to do … or who look for quick things …

After “Google”, which more than 1 billion people “that’s one sixth of the world” use, other famous sites began showing and it became like “Yahoo”, “Bing” from search sites …

The other point, which is supposed to be the topic, is the Social sites that got so famous in “no time” compared to some famous search sites that didn't get that famous in the same time frame …

Like "Facebook" for example, that got so famous although it started from “Geeks dorms” in one of “High class universities… people call them”, you would probably know the story if you watch the movie “The Social Network”, that showed part of its truth and how it began and so on …

"Twitter" kind of started the same but in a more “Geeky environment”, it started as a brainstorming sessions for daylong in another “High Class American University”, and of course then the idea of the code came from someone and so on …

So, they really got so famous because they’re different, they’re something new, exciting “as some people said”, offered something "Google" didn't … like sharing your life on the Internet and so on …

So now you wonder why the number of people reading "twitter" is definitely more than the number of people who read newspapers “not online newspapers of course … haha” …and "Facebook" as well that had the most people sharing their lives on it “as in from when they wake up … until they sleep … each moment …haha” …

Yep … it’s all Electronics … it did change us to speedy people always trying the get the 1st news or gossip “as some people would define it” …
