Is it any wonder we loved reading tweets in 2014? After all, the year was uniquely suited to this technology. Think about it: From breaking news to philosophical musings, if you wanted to be “in the know,” there was only one place to turn: TWEETS.
Here’s a simple example of how tweets changed us — and challenged us — in 2014: There was this thing that happened, and everyone went crazy about it, and when we went on twitter, we could read everyone’s opinions, even a real-life movie star’s opinion, and after reading all those tweets, we went to bed.
That’s just one example of the power of tweets. There are countless others.
