The power of optimism. The power of connection through the internet. Before all these things like Second Life and Maple story youtube dominated people's connections. People would speak through video responses. And once and a while a great video united people. It didn't have anything to do with Britney Spears or a cat farting, it was a purely joyous video that got millions of views. I am speaking of the Free Hugs Campaign video.
This post is in accordance with the post "One World."
I feel the reason these two videos became so incredibly successful is because there is a disconnectedness in the lifestyle we are growing accustomed to. For many of us, the only way we can communicate with our closest friends is through text messages, voice on a cellphone, or instant messaging. These videos find a way for us to come together. To create and collaborate. This video is nothing but optimism at its best, and I think it is a great way to speak in ways 'One World' can not.
