Thoughts of my project

- My project is asking how technology and social media have helped soldiers overseas stay connected to their loves ones here. I can see it on facebook, youtube, and other similar sites.
-I like my idea for 2 reasons. First, it's a great way to show how we can stay in touch with our loved ones even from worlds away. Second, it shows how far we've come in technological advances to be able to do so. I think the home videos on youtube of soldiers homecoming surprises and also of their lives while in a warzone that they upload to show their friends and family is a great example of this. There's also the fact that so many have access to computers too and can log into their facebooks or skype with people back home.
-Looking over youtube one can see numerous videos relating to this topic. It's a very popular section that many people view. There's also many aritcles, news videos, and stories about this that could be used as well.
