ROFLSST
TweetNotice how the limitations of 140 characters in the Twittersphere has shaped communication in the past couple of years? For those of you who have jumped into the world of Twitter, abbreviating emotional phrases have left us with a plethora of acronyms and emoticons to replace lengthy descriptions: LMAO, ROFL, OMG, and LOL have moved from text to life. Now, one artist has written a song that will help you remember what ROFLSST really means.
Do you remember the first time you thought of the acronym instead of saying what you meant in face-to-face conversation? I admit, it’s happened to me on more than one occasion. Now, if language shapes the way we think, does thinking in shorter bytes (like acronyms) mean we are closer to shaping our thoughts in terms of code? Will we, like the movie The Matrix, begin to simply see code everywhere? If we begin to see the short form in everything, how will this affect that we we “code” art?
