About This Quote
In the modern world, we have a lot of technology that allows us to stay connected with one another from anywhere in the world. We can visit our friends and family anywhere in the world and keep them up-to-date with everything going on. This is a great way to stay connected with people you care about. However, there is also something to be said about staying connected without actually being together.
This quote says that if Paul Revere had been a modern day citizen, he wouldn't have ridden down Main Street. He would have tweeted about what he was doing as he rode through the town warning people of the approaching British forces. Modern technology has made our lives easier but it can also make us disconnected from each other.
