String theory idea

So, the other day Owen found a cool poem and a video which we, as a group, found very interesting. The video is a dramatic reading of said poem whilst he uses string to link people together.  We like the string idea as it clearly shows evidence of the connection and hyper-connection felt between different people.  One point raised is whether the use of social media is a positive or a negative connection; displaying the fact that with the internet we can protect information which could otherwise be lost or news about loved ones who are far away, although it also portrays the internet as a pit which we are being sucked into more and more each day.  Also, this power of knowing things far away can disconnect us with what we have closer to home, as we worry less about our surroundings.
