The Lucky Ones

The speed that news travels occurs in seconds today. If anything drastic happens, the entire world will know in moments. 9/11 was all over the news the morning it happened, when the Giants won the Super Bowl it covered our headlines and television stations. Simple messages travel at such an incredible rate it can blow your mind away when you really sit down and think about it.

Hundreds of years ago messages and important news were delivered by men running from one place to another, by horseback, or even in a bottle in the claw of an eagle on rare occasions. Since then technology has advanced so much further. From the development of the telephone, internet, and instant message updates the time in between something happening and that information becoming public has slimmed down by such a drastic duration. 

It is truly an amazing thing to live in the time period that we do and I cannot even imagine how technology will advance further then it is today. We are so lucky to live with every important detail or event occurring in the world or at least having access to it when it would be unimaginable one hundred years ago.
