Remember when Twitter was just a niche online social network for narcissists, perfectly legal, non-restraining-order-breaking, celebrity stalking and cult leader-esque acquiring of ‘followers’? When it was just Facebook minus everything but status updates. Ah, the olden days.
Of course Twitter was just a slowburner and soon escalated its way to world domineering. The trending feature has spawned hashtag campaigning. Adverts are interactive through Twitter feedback. People can get arrested over Tweets. Fuck, the news is mostly Twitter now and vice versa.
Seeing as Tweets have been elevated from the mundane activities of the self-obsessed, vain attempts at humour or celeb baiting to world news relevant, culturally significant or actually important, a few people have imagined what it Twitter might’ve looked like had it been around substantially longer than it has. Specifically imagining if Twitter was around for some of the most important scientific discoveries, ideas, or experiments.
So, without further ado, here’s how Twitter might’ve looked had our greatest scientists had access to it – now with added ‘banter’ between some of our greatest minds. Also, if you’re unfamiliar with any of the science history references; look ’em up and learn summat you filthy animal.
