A man drags his coworker into a fantasy Twitter world, where users obsessively post trivial updates until an outage forces them to face their dependence on social media.
0:01 Where are you taking me? 0:02 Into the Twittersphere! 0:13 Just got to work. 0:18 Sitting in my chair now. 0:23 Anyone know any good 0:24 Craig? 0:24 apps for my iPhone? 0:26 C- Craig, what are you doing? 0:27 I- I'm Twittering. Did you get my tweets? I just twoted all over the place. 0:33 Uh-huh. What's Twitter? 0:36 D- d- it's the latest social networking micro bloggy thingy. 0:41 Yeah, I'm not interested. 0:44 Damn it, Darren! You are a young, hip, tech savvy 20-something, and I will not let you turn into my father. 0:50 Come on! Come on! 0:56 Where are you taking me? 0:58 Into the Twitter sphere! 1:03 Twitter! 1:05 Whoa. What is this place? 1:08 It's a magical world. With Twitter, you can tell everyone what you're doing or thinking at all times, no matter how trivial, mundane, or embarrassing. 1:20 Watching TV with my cat. 1:22 I forgot how much I like pickles. 1:25 At the free clinic. Uh-oh. 1:29 Who are they talking to? 1:31 No one, and everyone. 1:36 Darren, this is how our generation communicates now, with detached, bite-sized yippity yap. 1:43 Okay, but I don't care what other people are doing every second of the day. 1:47 No, no, neither do I, but we do want other people knowing what we're doing, right? 1:53 No, no, why is everyone such an exhibitionist all of a sudden? 1:57 Don't you Twitter stand? You could become a Twitter lebrity, like these twits. 2:02 Hotsaki and kaldi nagi, is there anything more sublime, huh? 2:08 Twitter. 2:10 I just connected my bing boing to my flurb flop with a new RSS twinkle I wrote. 2:16 Nice tweet, man. Ha! 2:18 Twitter. 2:20 Dear sunshine, I know we've disagreed in the past, but let's make amends today over margaritas at the beach. 2:26 Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. 2:27 How droll. 2:29 Fantastic twits. 2:31 Okay, it seems like Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life. 2:36 Oh, now you're getting it. 2:38 Twitter! 2:39 Craig, you seem like a normal guy. Why are you doing this? 2:43 Because it's like I'm hanging out with my friends all the time. 2:47 Just found a parking space. 2:48 But if they were really your friends, wouldn't they call you personally to see how you're doing? 2:53 Uh, well, um. 2:56 Uh, shut up. 2:58 Friends don't just randomly shout into the darkness and hope someone's listening. 3:02 W- what you, what you trying to say? 3:05 Pick your next words wisely. 3:08 None of you have any friends! 3:12 No! 3:18 Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. 3:20 What's going on? 3:22 You bastard! You've summoned the fail whale. 3:31 What's the fail whale? 3:33 It means we're disconnected. When we're disconnected, we can't Twitter. 3:37 If we can't Twitter, we don't exist. 3:44 People, you do exist, but you've become reliant on this constant self-affirmation. 3:50 You're addicts. You need help. 3:53 You're right! We wasted our lives! 3:56 Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig. 4:04 Oh, oh, oh God. Craig! Craig, are you all right? It's gonna be okay. 4:10 It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get you help. Are you all right? 4:12 Yeah, yeah. Hold on. I've got... 4:17 I've got to Twitter about this. Ugh.
