No, I’m joking. It’s not important. It’s not really important because I haven’t posted it on Twitter. And, even if I did, it would only be one post. However, if I could just get a few hundred people to re-tweet the post, it could well make the 6 o’clock news! Then everyone would know it’s important because of the number of people tweeting it.
That’s how we know something is important, that is.
I think it’s fair to say that, looking back on it, the First and Second World Wars were pretty uneventful in the scale of humanity. After all, how many people tweeted about the Blitz? Go on, you find me a single one! There you go. World Wars with no tweets = unimportant. Whereas should some X-factor contestant be deported based on thousands of reality TV viewers voicing their opinions on it in 140 characters or less = massively important to the nation’s consciousness.
Also, it’s only just been revealed that all those security agents scrambling over JFK’s Cadillac weren’t actually trying to save their dying President. They were actually looking for their iphones to tweet, ‘Damn-it, boss dead. May lose job.’
