Heather Ramirez July 2, 2016 Instagram Meeting My Cousins from the Philippines Heather Ramirez July 2, 2016 Instagram On Friday, I got to meet two of my cousins for the first time. 👯 The meeting was virtual on Skype but hey, better than nothing! We had a lot of fun chatting and getting to know each other. They’re huge k-pop fans and they were also very interested in my hip hop dancing days haha. So great to hang out with them 😊❤️ Now, can I take a second to marvel over the power of social media and communication technology? Using just my laptop and a wi-fi connection, I was able to see and talk to my cousins who live in a timezone 15 hours ahead. Furthermore, through social media, we’ll be able to keep in touch on a regular basis… That might not seem like a big deal but ten years ago, this would have been impossible. Look how far we’ve come in such a relatively short amount of time. As society adapts to this kind of connection and new technologies are developed, digital media will continue to evolve very quickly. Through @sharesparkmedia, I hope to help people become aware of the impact of this evolution. What do you think? Does this kind of connection make the world seem bigger or smaller? 🤔 A photo posted by Heather Ramirez (@hetramirez04) on Jul 3, 2016 at 2:10pm PDT
