It leaves us seeking inspiration, wondering, “Where do I turn?” and, “How do I make a difference?” We all want to be inspired to take action. But, with so much negativity, knowing where and how to start is almost as overwhelming as pulling up a Facebook feed.

But, online, we’re exposed to other points-of-views, ways of life and beliefs. This is a powerful tool…especially when it comes from friends and those we admire.

Part One: Four Ways Technology Strengthens Human Connection

Technology sometimes gets a bad rep when it comes to how it affects human connectivity. But, it’s not all bad. Sure, there are the constant tug of a bottomless inbox, potential for Facebook drama and the frequent Netflix binges (we’re not judging), but what about all it’s doing for us to strengthen the human connection? In this series, we’ll take a look at the good it can do to enrich our relationships.
