The explain this to me. How can they be doing other things in rl and have the ability to log on within 30 secs of getting a tweet? Even if the tweet was received by phone, how could they log on so fast unless they were waiting by their computer? I doubt they were out getting an oil change, or grocery shopping, or hitting golf balls, or working, or taking their kids to school, or anything that involved being more than 4 feet from their computer at the time of the tweet. This is what is confusing to me.
1. Because people are using hyperbole when they say 30 seconds.
2. Off the top of my head: College students, IT professionals, the self employed, and stay at home parents are within a few minutes of their primary computer for a majority of the day, regardless of whether they are playing or not.
