Social Media is a Digital ‘Village’

The Digital Village

If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why then this parting was well made.

                             ~ William Shakespeare

Social media has brought back village life – in a digital way and without borders.

In a village of old, neighbors knew everyone and kept tabs on each other. In this ‘digital village’ called social media it’s kind of the same. People blog, tweet, and post on Facebook or Google+ about their lives and thoughts and are followed by and have conversations with relatives, friends, colleagues, and other interested people all over the planet.

Just as each village had it’s town criers, gossips, and idiots…so does social media.

It’s really pretty cool to think about.
