It usually takes me a while to come around to technological things. Facebook was around for a good 2-3 years before I jumped on board. I just hopped on Twitter in the last 2 years or so. And don't even get me started on Pinterest - I have NO idea how I waited so long for that life-changer! My thoughts are that there isn't a big use for it. Why does anyone care what I'm doing at all times of the day? Why can't I just bookmark things instead of pinning them on a board? These are the ridiculous thoughts that go through my head, and then I'm proven wrong - it happens quite often, as you can see.
So when Facebook Live came about a few months ago, I was stumped. Why oh why would anyone need videos of people? And why do those videos have to be live? They'd have the same punch if they were recorded and then uploaded. Wouldn't they? Plus, why would anyone willingly record themselves? I don't know about you, but on video my voice is all funny and all thoughts leave my head.
Anyway, this is why I hadn't bought into it all. Until my friends went on the #BestRoadtripEver. This road trip has taken them all over the country. And because of this, they've been facebook live-ing their adventures and I do believe these videos are the best thing ever! We get to hear all about the fun things they've been doing, hear all sorts of fun questions and homework for us and get to see how happy they are exploring. Every day I anxiously await the next video and having the chance to comment with all of our other friends. I do believe they're better at this than some Travel Channel hosts. And it's all thanks to Facebook Live!
