A-Twittering Not I Will Go

I am trying to see if I can successfully ignore Twitter till it, too, is a thing of the past. A person doesn't need to try to catch every wave that rolls in from God knows where, and in fact I have yet to see anything that clearly tells me what Twitter is, what it does, what it's for, or anything else of a useful nature, and I strongly doubt that I will be asked any questions about it on the final exam later. With any luck, then, that will merely join all the other popular waves that I have let go by and that by now have formed a huge ocean.

But if that question does appear, maybe I'll be able to substitute some other ephemeral esoteria on which I can speak with authority -- and one such subject has already suggested itself. That one is: how to get through life without catching any waves at all, at least those that might put some money into a person's pocket.
