During my time in FYS, I have realized a few things about the hidden evils of technology and how they help progress the digital divide and what not. However my paper is going to be the complete opposite of that. I believe that twitter will help progress the world in general.
To me Twitter is more then just a way to vent my feelings to my followers, Twitter is an entire new world. I Get everything from twitter, anywhere from my news, sports updates, what celebrities are up to, the latest tabloids, even a cheap late night laugh. My life has changed because of twitter and its not just a thing about me either, twitter has helped many others. Be it the Tweetevents or essentially flash mobs for a purpose that bring thousands of people to one location and rally for a cause, or how twitter assisted all those who were involved in the Arab spring. Twitter has evolved from a simple status update page to a way to change the world for the better. In this proposal, I still do not know exactly what sources I will includes but expect a video of some sorts and 2 credible online sources

Twitter, I am very proficient in Twitter, Unlike most people who are just starting up on Twitter, I Have had a twitter since 09'. Im over the 1,600 tweet mark and am, in my opinion very proficient in twitter. My twitter litteracy level is very high since i've been there so long, all the #SMH #HMD #nowplaying and prety much anyother hashtag ive seen or used at times. However I personally do not follow most trends when it come to hashtags, I tend to make up my own such as #liberalswag and #Murphswag. I see hashtags as more of a creative way to make up random sayings then to go along with a trend. My twitter literacy skill really doesnt evolve anymore beause ive been on there so long that Ive seen everything twitter has to offer. You more or less acquire 21st century literacy skills by being on the internet, its not taught anywhere its just acquired.

My experiences as a web user have been pretty typical for a teenager. Be it the middle school fad that was known as "Myspace" and now Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and soon Google+ the internet for me is usually used for social networking and procrastinating. My internet skills have most definatly evolved over time however, be it from my 1st times on the internet always entering www. and using google to find google, my ICT skill has evolved to a level that was beyond my comprehension when I was a "Noob" user of the internet. I now can make use of the internet by using all the possible advantages it has to offer, such as downloadable text books, Its ability to record my vlog for my next blog, making it so I can impress my friends with random facts at times by searching google on my phone. The internet has completly revolutionized how I look at the world and how I can interact with it.
