Take a few minutes to watch this video.
Powerful. Here’s the backstory.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Twitter is not simply about sharing information – it’s much more about sharing our collective human experiences. When we read tweets, we read lives – or at least the parts that someone chooses to share. Don’t take that for granted.
I read your tweet and watched the video right after talking to my dad who we recently had to move to an assisted care facility. I realized even more as I sent my siblings a message on FB about our dad that social media has allowed me to share the losses and challenges and celebrations I experience with others and theirs with me. It has allowed me to reconnect with old friends, stay in touch with others, and even make new friends – some who I have never met face to face, but with whom I found a common interest or passion. I believe the benefits of social media far outweigh any negatives! Thanks for sharing this – it was very touching!
Thanks Alec
I`ve been using social media for the last 6 months that I have been abroad to connect. Its amazing how I wake up in the morning looking for those little snips of information. They can really make my day
like it
What good is that information can have on hand at any time.
