How Social Media Is Having a Positive Impact on Our Culture
Communicate with each other when we're apart. Describe a piece of bacon, and hang on every word. Is it better than a conversation with "real words?" No. But is it better than waiting two more days, when the mundane moment that I long to hear about so much is gone? Yes. I guess one man's TMI is another man's treasure. Moments later, I sat down and opened the paper. A headline immediately stood out: In China, microblogs finding abducted kids with the subhead, "A 6-year-old who was snatched when he was 3 is discovered with a family 800 miles away." Apparently, the occurrence of reclaimed children through the use of China's version of Twitter - and other online forums - has become triumphant news over there. I'm reading about the father's tears, the boy's own confusing set of emotions, the rapt attention of the town and country, and I'm again marveling at the human side of the Internet.
