"f you think about it, this type of technology can makes us even more human than we were before, it's simply on the way we choose to use it. "One of the reasons social media has grown so fast is that it taps into what we, as human beings, naturally love and need and want to do-create, share, connect, relate." Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant"
