We are in an age of 140 characters

Story 1:Today I am x years-old (where 3 << 9), and there’s one thing I like about this age, its bedtime stories. My grandparents like kids, but books are certainly right up there. And they used to combine them together every night, and make us a-flutter.

Story 2:Scripture is God’s word, it is also a witness. We know God through the stories. We understand Ram from Ramayana.

Story 3:I am an Engineer. I suppose, as I always strive for the bigger picture and for things & information to be put in a context of data, things like blogging would be a natural venue for me. With no squelching of Pages, Words or characters here often I write science, data, suppositions, views etc.

Story 4:People keeps a diary… personal diary and obsessed with writing there own stories in it.

Now Today:
Suddenly today someone came in my life called 'Social media'. She shortchanges me and diverting my attention so I can tell my story in text messages.


She said, we are in an age where 140 characters, offer an easy substitute for everything.
She said, She is funny or startling or exciting or telling me something or some combination of all of those.


But, this "very different new angle" of mysteriously 140 characters has no supporting background or detail information. It looks they are moving me into their meta-maze with two openings; Death or Appeasement.

No, I cannot be just a people of 'Social media'. We must also be bards, biographers and poets and our content are too grand, too deep and far too wide.

For me 140 Characters Is Not Enough. I can't tell bedtime stories in 140 characters. I can't understand God in 140 characters. I can't understand history in 140 characters. I can't write science in 140 characters. I can't write my personal diary with 140 characters. I can't write poem with 140 characters. And finally.... I can't say how much I love to wife in 140 characters.

Do you want to hear this in 140 characters, here is “MY 140 Characters”:
