Funny how a mockumentary can make me laugh, and at the same time, ponder a pretty significant point. After watching this, it made me think that the developers of Twitter must have had the same mindset: that blogs and email are too long, and people should be forced to converse in 140 characters. On one hand, I see value in forcing messengers to develop efficient, succinct messages. But on the other, do these restrictions make our messages even more irrelevant and insignificant?
