Comments by MC Hammer (2/22/09) shows what is BAD about twitter. Contrary to what Hammer says about twitter “shortening the distance between creation of content and the consumer”, his actions show that he is actually unable to have a direct, focused, close relation with his wife. Here are two examples from the interview:
(1) he tweets his wife, and then immediately confronts her with thoughts about whether or not she saw his tweet: clearly, he should have just engaged her with whatever it was that was on his mind;
(2) while engaging in actions involving or leading to intimacy, his total focus is not on her, himself and their life — his focus is significantly diluted by an unhealthy concern to educate the masses by tweeting them a commentary!: Honey, let me educate the world that I am going to kiss you; tweet; a hasty peck (hasty so as to not keep his followers waiting too long); honey, let me educate the world that I just kissed you; tweet; etc.
Soon, he and his wife will just set their devices to vibrate and have sex by tweeting each other … that is, if he continues to have a wife!

First, big picture of what is involved in Conceptualizing/Thinking:
“A ‘concept’ is a mental integration of two or more perceptual concretes, which are isolated by a process of abstraction and united by means of a specific definition. Every word of man’s language, with the exception of proper names, denotes a concept, an abstraction that stands for an unlimited number of concretes of a specific kind. It is by organizing his perceptual material into concepts, and his concepts into wider and still wider concepts that man is able to grasp and retain, to identify and integrate an unlimited amount of knowledge, a knowledge extending beyond the immediate perceptions of any given, immediate moment. Man’s sense organs function automatically; man’s brain integrates his sense data into percepts automatically; but the process of integrating percepts into concepts—the process of abstraction and of concept-formation—is not automatic.
.
“The process of concept-formation does not consist merely of grasping a few simple abstractions, such as ‘chair,’ ‘table,’ ‘hot,’ ‘cold,’ and of learning to speak. It consists of a method of using one’s consciousness, best designated by the term ‘conceptualizing.’ It is not a passive state of registering random impressions. It is an actively sustained process of identifying one’s impressions in conceptual terms, of integrating every event and every observation into a conceptual context, of grasping relationships, differences, similarities in one’s perceptual material and of abstracting them into new concepts, of drawing inferences, of making deductions, of reaching conclusions, of asking new questions and discovering new answers and expanding one’s knowledge into an ever-growing sum. The faculty that directs this process, the faculty that works by means of concepts, is: reason. The process is thinking.”

Then small picture of what happens in modern nursery schools:
“A child needs periods of privacy in order to learn to think. He has had less privacy in that nursery school than a convict in a crowded concentration camp. He has had no privacy even for his bathroom functions, let alone for such an antisocial activity as concept-formation.”

They gave a lame excuse of getting the wrong number: http://twitter.com/hotforwords/status/3361630491 (And CBS Early Show cannot figure out dates: http://twitpic.com/e9z79 ) - Calendar
Marina gave them the right phone number (http://twitter.com/hotforwords/status/3361630491 ) but they could not figure out how to dial it without making mistakes! So there was no interview with the excuse “they did not have the right number”. - Meet-Up in NY plus Comic Con Footage
Anyone know if the CBS early show is streamed, and if so where? I found this which has clips but does not mention live streaming: http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_early_show/ I also found these that may or may not help http://atlantis2.cbsnews.com/video/ and http://www.cbsnews.com/video/ - Meet-Up in NY plus Comic Con Footage
[advice advise - will the origin resolve questions such as: Why 'c' for the noun and 's' for the verb? Why not the other way around? Are they supposed to sound different when pronounced?]
