Love the power of the world wide web!
We used to sing that song when I was in grade school. If I remember right, it was from the movie Shang-ri=la.
My niece and I share the internet connection. Both of us also stay up late at night to connect. Last night, we were discussing about what time to shut down the connection. I had planned to download some game and I expected it to take a while because I would be playing another game while that was going on.
My niece said she would also be staying up late. She was chatting with a Brit she said. She met this person on Tumblr. She also has a French friend. She regularly talks to some Japanese who are practicing English skills with her.
It's so easy to connect and learn about other peoples through responsible social networking. These could be life long friends. Maybe they can help in her school or work later on. Even if they do not directly help her, knowledge about places she has never been too could prove useful as she deals with the global economy when she finishes college.
Wonderful isn't it? It's been there for years. We just need to use it to our advantage to give eahc other a win-win proposition.
