YouTube is great!

Just in this week my wife has learned how to make Mozarella cheese by watching a YouTube video. (She hasn't done it yet but I'm certain it will happen.) I have been inspired by listening to Larry Adler talking about his life and his harmonica playing (You can see it here if it interests you) also on YouTube.

So often we hear about the tragedies of modern life (and there are many) but the ability to spread positive information, tuition and knowledge has never been more accessible or affordable (often it's free).

The old saying is that it takes more muscles in your face to frown than to smile and now perhaps we have a digital analogy of that maxim. It easier now to spread good news about life than malicious gossip and rumour. It's easier because when you're spreading good news or knowledge there is no need to hide or be furtive; it takes less energy to be nice!

What will you do today?
