How has technology impacted the global community? What specific technology changed the world?
Technology has impacted the global community in a number of ways. From being able to connect with people across the world through Facebook to being able to keep updated with global news on Twitter, people are able to communicate in ways that were not possible before. Just recently there was an attack on Paris by the terrorist group ISIS. The attacks had killed around 130 people and occurred at a concert, game, and restaurant. (http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2015/11/world/paris-victims/) Within minutes of the attacks the news was spread onto social media through Twitter and Instagram. People all over the world found out about this tragedy. "Pray for Paris" was created as people sent out their prayers and hearts to the victims. Through these sort of social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat) people are able to learn of activities around the world and to help those in need.
