Twitter is definitely more shallow than LJ it terms of what it allows for personal interaction.
And I've taken a shining to turning off that stuff every now and again, mostly to do homework or whatever but people should not be afraid to walk away, shut off their cellphone or whatever, for a few hours or days or whatever. A lot of technology is great n' stuff, but people still have the same problems they've always had. People feel restrained by Twitter today. Yesterday it was mass culture and MTV, people isloating themselves with Walkmen, etc.
I'll probably lose my low-cost 3G on-the-go access sometime in the next few years, and I've debated whether I want to just let it go or turn it into a challenge- i.e. figure out a way to establish connectivity to my home using some kind of sound modulation--REMEMBER DOING THAT?
