Horrible Weather For Vlogging
I actually quite like the rain Let's talk about digital communication
and how that's changing how we communicate in real life
not that communicating digitally isn't communicating in real life

from their mobile phone I think that's sort of indicative of the way
that digital tech is changing our communication
habits because fifteen years ago you had to call
your friends you couldn't Facebook them, or, text them
is what I was going for there actually you couldn't Facebook because Facebook didn't
exist, not even 10 years ago But anyway…
Facebook and Twitter afford us these new opportunities that we haven't really had
historically to communicate with each other, in the sense that we're always connected
and that I guess is what leads to the anxiety that people talk about in terms of
not having a phone, or not having access to the internet on your computer
not knowing what might happen while you're away, you might miss something,
and being worried about that, I can see where that comes from
I still think that 'in moderation' the new communication tools we have access to
are a really good way forward I've picked a really bad day to do a walking
vlog, because it's intermittently really really
wet out here, I just went past a house that was playing
"Looking for Alaska" by Hank green, well, written by Liane Graham… So that was

want to get wet and cold and sick, yeah So I'll catch you guys tomorrow!
