Far Reaching Impact

Today I was thinking about a video (4 Generations) that I watched several months ago. It tells the tale of a family in China who receive a water buffalo. Four generations in this family are affected by this gift. The great-grandmother is brought to tears. When thinking about this family on the other side of the world, I wonder how technology and this digital "world" affects them. They will never see a computer, a light bulb, a refrigerator...

Then, I realized that I wouldn't even know about this family if it weren't for technology. I can't even put in words the impact this story (and the technology that brought it to me) has had on me.
