Slice of life #8 - Social Media in the news



With the advent of technology, it is a fact that our world has changed. Mobile technology, iphones, twitter, Instagram have given people globally, instantaneous access to news stories as they happen. As stated by the Disaster Resource Guide Website, "In a world of increasing interconnectedness between individuals and companies across the globe, social media continues to evolve and play a larger role in day-to-day life".

 Think back to almost one year ago, when the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared enroute to Beijing, China from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We watched and waited, feeling sick to our stomachs realising that lives had been lost. Many faculty and students aware that the were frequent travellers on this amazing airline. Malaysian Airlines, like family to many of us. As the hours and days past, social media kept us informed. Now, fast forward one year relegated to a minor heading on websites as the search continues.  



No answers or news
Families Devastated
Scouring social media
Emotions raw

Six degrees of separation
Relationships revealed
Connections uncovered
Waiting

 Fast forward one year
Vast oceans searched
Families not able to move forward
Lives in limbo
