We live in the digital age.
Nothing is private. Nothing is kept secret. Nothing is safe.
Images, videos and stories that were never before seen or heard are now, in an instant, shared nationwide.
An article that prompted this thought is one from April 15th, 2008. The article is titled "New Technology, New Voices." Police corruption and brutality was exposed through videos and images circulating quickly on the web. When taken by the right people and put into the right hands, this information can reach millions instantaneously.
Information has become so easy to share. It has gotten to the point where exchanging stories so rapidly is no longer a good thing. Not only can true stories be shared, but also false stories and those that have been entirely made up.
