Which may, or may not, choose to answer.<br /><br />1. Did the social media give you a better understanding of the problem in the Horn of Africa than did the commercial media?<br /><br />2. What have you decided to do in response to what you have seen about the problems in the Horn of Africa?Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211564386489765766.post-59543465045403837482011-07-18T23:00:03.305-05:002011-07-18T23:00:03.305-05:00I agree with Brenda Susan above and it seems that ...I agree with Brenda Susan above and it seems that "everyone" in Nigeria has a cell phone. Electronics are big in the developing world and perhaps their only means of getting informed via texts etc. I understand what you're saying and in a way it's scary, but I'm sure in the early 1900's there were just as many complaints about something considered "modern" then that would hurt society. Don't know enough history to say what though.

This is because technology is now so clever. So in a way it is not surprising that it is over used. Setting limitations on the use of technolgy would be difficult, but for the individual it is a matter of discipline. Sometime the old fashioned long way round it better.cheshire wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944869219641386387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211564386489765766.post-2027436489569203122011-07-16T19:18:19.264-05:002011-07-16T19:18:19.264-05:00Overall, no, I don't think technology makes us...Overall, no, I don't think technology makes us more sensitive to the suffering happening around the world. But I do think that if it's used right, it can help people who need it by at least making others realize what's going on.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211564386489765766.post-26526480465609199622011-07-16T19:16:56.867-05:002011-07-16T19:16:56.867-05:00I think technology may be the only thing that can ...I think technology may be the only thing that can save the world.

The method of getting financial help was limited to the missionaries coming home on furlough and crossing the country with their sad slideshows and begging people to give.<br /><br />I believe that technology has made a really huge difference in allowing more of us to see how others live and respond with our money and our time. Look at all the wonderful volunteer help that went to recent disaster areas. In days of old, we simply would not have known about earthquakes and floods in other parts of the world. I say yay for technology!Brenda Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842228644349167297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211564386489765766.post-88041124863651455042011-07-16T11:16:46.224-05:002011-07-16T11:16:46.224-05:00Very thoughtful, indeed.

As for cell phones, I have a love hate relationship with them. My husband is an over the road truck driver. Cell phones allow us to talk whenever we want to. But I don't care about all of the bells and whistles.<br />With all of the profit these companies make all of us, surely they could give us the option to donate a portion don't you think? Just a thought! Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.com
