In 1997, my Superintendent told our graduating class two things:
1) Stay off of the internet.
2) Don't get into a stranger's car.

In 2016, I can call, text, tweet, or send an emoji to Domino's; cash is discouraged.

In 1997, I had to get a travel agent to purchase a train ticket to get to college to get a paper course guide and stand in line (for eternity) to register for classes.

Today, not only do I pick my classes online, I take all of them online.
I will defend my dissertation over Skype.

Why Twitter?
- Instantaneous.
