Social media mayhem’s silver lining

By Megan Wagner

My seventh grade geography teacher told us on our first day of class that “the world is getting smaller.”  This single statement was referring to the speed of information we received, at the time, through TV and telephone (“You can see a live newscast all the way from China on the 6 o’clock news!”)  Of course, we totally naïve 13-year-olds didn’t have a clue what that meant – until we grew up years later and were thrown into the social media revolution.
