Express beyond 140 !

Posted on 04 February 2010 by sadhan



What a digital age we are now into… interesting ? amazing !  Yes… it is but there are questions and thoughts around it as well which in others words can be put as concerns as well.

Sadhan Biswas blog Digital ThoughtMost of us have been growing with the computing evolution in terms of social media way, as we have first learnt about ‘email account’ and what it does and slowly adopted emails as part of our daily life like other daily activities. Email has been working fine to express all our eMotions in the electronic way, official communication became blessed with the emailing stuff and we almost made the retirement of the postal services.

And then … we were still not satisfied maybe with long, boring emails to express our needs. As the mantra today with almost every product or service is ‘Do More with Less’, we started playing with this and Jack Dorsey translated this idea into action by creating ‘Twitter’.

Cool … now we have learnt rephrasing our expressions internally to produce it with a ‘Limited Edition’ of only 140 characters. Wow … they say Life is short and now expressions are shorter and gosh… don’t know what is waiting for us when we become smarter.

We need to think and express ourselves with character limitations when we need to be social in the internet domain. Forget about the character limitation in the text box to enter but also our ears and mind will get tuned to listen and understand the first 140 or shorter characters that you say or write.

Folks, we are lucky that in 2010 we still have 140 words but be prepared to do (express) the same maybe in next few years with 100, 80 or 60 character limitations in gradual way.

With the addiction to get hooked onto the social networking services, a person is now incomplete if he/she is does not maintain a Facebook, twitter or Linkedin profile. I met my neighbor the other day, in line with our social networking bondage, she asked me ‘is everything okay … as I don’t see you tweeting these days ?”

So, if you find a friend of yours who is not doing the tweets, posts, commenting on the wall, scraps etc for some days spare some minutes out of your hectic life to give him/her a buzz (not again restricting to your mobile plan of pulse/minute etc) or visit him/her to say ‘hey! How are you?” and carry on with the conversation beyond any expressive limitation.

    Wonderful post!! Brings out a problem that not many of us are realizing and slowly are being engulfed by the darker side of shorter, smarter, sleaker digital word.
