Twitter was designed based on text messaging which was then, a trend at that moment for the people. The idea of SMS suited the plan for twitter where it allows people to update status where it could be shared among people and friends. The idea for Twitter first came out 10 years ago where back then, Chairman Jack Dorsey, started to have ideas for people to share information with other people with the use of e-mails.

It gave them the access to break the limit whereby borrowing the concept of text messaging or IM (instant messaging) and converging it to social based concept which was even better than normal SMS.

Final Fantasy and Addiction - A Teen Phenomena (Current Research)

Current Research

In IGN website,Travis Fahs has said that Final Fantasy is the longest swan song of all time. It was never meant to last, but now, more than two decades later, it remains the most recognizable name in role-playing games. More of an idea than a true series, it has evolved into something that a young Hironobu Sakaguchi would never recognize and almost single-handedly turned a small, struggling company into an international powerhouse. In the twenty years since it first arrived on Japanese Famicom systems, it's never once relied on nostalgia or conceded to rest on its laurels. Every new game has continued to press forward, and that's precisely what makes it one of the most interesting stories in game history.Besides that,he also said that Square has been thinking two steps ahead for a very long time and controversy had never caught up with them. It isn't fair to say that Final Fantasy is bullet-proof, but it has more than earned its legacy as gaming's most ironically-titled franchise.
