~Royal Wedding~

Did you watch the Royal Wedding? Man, aren't you sick of hearing about the Royal Wedding? What did you think of the Royal Wedding?

Is this what you've been hearing from friends and co-workers lately? The internet is no different from the real world. No matter where you go, there's no escape. The television was full of coverage of the wedding, and every internet news site or blog was all over it as well. How did another country's major event become our big event? Thanks to social media and digital media in general, another country's news and events can spread to our country like wildfire. Even the fact that the ceremony itself took place at around 3am for us, this did not deter people. If it is possible to watch it, then people are going to watch. Just so they can say that they did.

Digital media has the ability to make us all more worldly. We can witness events around the world live on television or streaming on our computers, or watch it later on Youtube or read about it on various websites, whichever appeals to you more. There is so many choices that international affairs can appeal to anyone!

And of course, big events such as these always inevitably lead to internet shenaningans. While I was searching through article after article of the Royal Wedding, I happened upon this fun one: http://mashable.com/2011/04/30/frowning-flower-girl/ Ah internet, I can always trust you to focus on the smallest, most unimportant part of an event and make them hilarious. Long live Frowning Flower Girl!
