I {heart} the internet and social networks

August 4, 2009

I just wanted to share my love of this thing they call ‘the internet’! Tonight I was catching up on the tweets I follow on Twitter and my friend, @Shirley8153, tweeted the following:

I thought hmm… Bob McFerrin. I love him! So I click on the link. It takes me to a blog post and video of him using pentatonic scale with an audience at the “Notes & Neurons: In Search of a Common Chorus” event. This particular event was taking illustrating music’s interaction with the brain and our emotions.Who cares, right? What I love about it is… this he was at the World Science Festival.  Now I am engrossed in the happenings/highlights at the festival. I am learning… on my own time, in my own way, experiencing an event that I cannot attend, didn’t know occurred, or even would not have attended.

That is what I love about the internet and social networking. In a matter of a few clicks I am engrossed in something I would have never found on my own. Thank you, Shirley for expanding my learning.
