Informative TEDTalk here about how current communication technologies are not driving us apart; rather they’re bringing us together. I can relate to this personally. Since June, the powers that be in China have been blocking Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, YouTube and a host of other social networking sites. As a result, I was connecting much less with people who matter to me. I eventually had to throw down money for a virtual private network (VPN), which was one of the best investments I’ve made in a while. Within a day, I was feeling much more connected with and a part of the lives of my friends and families. As with almost anything, there is an upside and a downside to any new invention–it’s all in how we use it. Enjoy the video.
