There’s a scene in Jurassic Park that’s one of my favorites. The chaos theory guy – my favorite character in the movie – is explaining to everyone else in the jeep that life can be unpredictable.

While he’s explaining his theory, the other people in the jeep get so curious about the dinosaurs, that they break the Big Rule and, one by one, open their doors and get out of the jeep.

Chaos theory guy is left alone in the jeep, talking to himself, saying how he’s right because who could have predicted that everyone else would just up and get out of the jeep, leaving him all alone. Finally, he gets out of the jeep too.

Well, I feel like everyone else up and went somewhere and I’ve been missing something. Apparently there’s something big to go and see outside the jeep. So at long last, I’m going along to see what this Twitter stuff is all about.

The two best scenes in the movie, in my very humble opinion which is always right, are the shaving cream can (particularly at 1:22) and the dinner argument (particularly at 2:00). Just because you can use a particular technology, doesn’t mean that you should. I think that applies at 80% of what’s on the internet these days. I have a feeling it also applies to twitter. It’s a great shaving cream can, apparently. But since everyone else has already left my jeep, I think I will at least give it a try.
