once again, truly global

i am pretty sure everyone has heard about and/or seen the KONY 2012 video (if not, watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc). it caused a huge wave of shocking about the actions of LRA, amazement (about the powerful movement of the organization "invisible children") and other emotions but what amazed me even more was the wave of reactions to the 30min- clip. people from all over the globe immediately posted their views on the topic and on the video (how it simplifies the problem, how outdated it is). this is, once again, truly a sign that we live in an era of instant action/reaction. time is calculated in fb status updates, twitter feeds, youtube vdo uploads, blog entries. not seconds. the thought of hours has vanished without being noticed. see the links below if you would like a insight of some of those reactions.
