I just got a text from my friend at Saint Lawrence University:

“I just saw the Midd Kid video and it made me think of you. How are you? I miss you!”

Point A: all of our social networks like facebook help link people across the country to new things like the Midd Kid video. Without the online world, the real world might not know about a video like this for a long time, or until its too late to be appreciated. But now we can send it around the world with the click of a mouse. Point B: Cell phone technology like texting allows us to all of a sudden be in touch with people that we haven’t talked to in weeks, as if no time has passed at all.

After receiving this text, I went online and told my friend Julie, via iChat, and she responded “my DAD asked me about it yesterday! Some ladies in his office were looking at it…weird. i know.”
