As a 15-Year-Old, I’ve my own reasons why I started using Twitter. Well, below are five reasons why…
-
1\. Improve my English
-
2\. Promoting my Blog
-
3\. Keeping Updated to the Latest News & Technology Stuff
-
One great example is the Mumbai attack. People were giving first hand reports of what they’re seeing directly on Twitter whereas CNN reporters were still flying to Mumbai and writing news reports about what’s happening.
-
4\. Keeping Updated to the Fast-Paced Society
-
Everyday, people keep innovating,
-
As a 15-Year-Old kid, I feels that it’s important to expose myself to the Internet world as in the future, we are going to live in a more advanced, sophisticated world whereby computer will be become a necessity in our lives, just like we need to eat and drink everyday.
-
**5\. Boost Communication Skills & Finding Out More About Other Cultures**
Another main reason why I use Twitter is to improve my communication skills which is relatively important is guiding a person to become a successful speaker.
-
Twitter has enabled me to learn more about other cultures instead of just my own.
-
earning more cultures is rather important and Twitter can help me do so. By reading updates which are mainly towards the “What Are You Doing?” style, I’m able to find out more about their lifestyles and sometimes a better understanding about their countries. This is something that I simply can’t learn in school.
