Of course there is the possibly of addiction and squandering of time. But can addiction ever occur when in moderation?
I feel like these should be connected with a comma, or maybe a semicolon just by the way I read this aloud.
I like the approach you took on it, but it seems like you are kind of condescending to people who people who don't have Twitter accounts. You are criticizing people who just don't want a Twitter. What if someone in admissions doesn't have a Twitter (Might be highly unlikely though)? You're basically offending them and telling them that they are static people who live in the past and are alone. Don't think offending someone who is thinking of accepting you into their college will go well.
The vibe I get from this, like I said, is critical on people who made that choice not to get an account. Maybe soften it up a bit and don't bring out all these negative aspects. I know you were trying to stick to the topic of Tweeting but there are certainly other ways of obtaining information rather than social media. The news, magazines, newspapers, the Internet! My parents don't have Twitters but that doesn't make them any less than someone who does, let alone not up to date on things.
As a final note, by the way you talk, it's almost as if you're saying just because we live in a technological age, it means we have to be forced to be 'current' and have all this social media. Yes, you bring out a nice point about how all this news can be brought to our attention with a click but as that saying goes, "life is full of choices", so does choosing not to have something all of a sudden make you lesser than others?
Just my thoughts and maybe something to think about.
