isomorphismes

To tweet or not to tweet: that is the question.

• @isomorphisms: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
• The @'s and RT's of outrageous spammers,
• Or to hit /block against a sea of affiliate-marketers,
• And by Reporting, end them? To quit; to disable one's account; no more
• And by quitting we say to shut the computer and end
• The predictable op-eds and the thousand engineer'd linkbaits
• That social media is heir to, 'tis a consummation
• Devoutly to be wish'd. To quit; to go outside;
• To go outside, perchance to walk, or lift a heavy object, or swing on a swing: ay, there's the rub,
• For in the outdoors what emails may come to mind that we realise we need to write just this second but don't have a pen or paper or a blasted smartphone,
• When we have left our laptops in our flats,
• Must give us pause: there's the habituation
• That makes calamity of this 140-character media stream;
• For who would bear the whips and scorns of fatuous trolls on internet chatboards,
• (who are totally wrong), the successful entrepreneur's contumely,
• The pangs of unrequited backlinks, the slow computer's delay;
• The insolence of @sacca and the spurns
• Of blog readers who reliably bounce at an 87% rate,
• When @isomorphisms himself might his own quietus make
• With a bare bodkin? Who would arXiv browse,
• To hunt and peck under a weary life,
• But that the dread of something after logging off,
• The undiscover'd country from whose boredom
• No surfer ever returns, puzzles the will
• And makes us rather bear those ills we have
• Than fly to others we know not of?
• Thus iPads do make addicts of us all,
• Its native 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution
• Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of the thought that I'm never not looking at the damn thing,
• And that enterprises of great pith and moment
• With an enticing reddit link their currents turn awry,
• And lose the name of action!
