I am amazed at the fact that I am in Florida and can communicate with anyone worldwide.
Here in Florida conversation and the news is dominated by the weather. The prevailing temperature is about fifty degrees F and it is like deep winter for the citizens. Thick sweaters, central heating and general melancholy. Adding the gleeful news in the media is all part of living. There are deep snows in other parts of the US and this helps to cheer us up. When I point out that it is not really cold I am told that the temperature is usually eighty degres F and occasionally ninety.
This says to me that your experience of the universe depends on where you happen to be. Your experience is extended by modern technology which allows you to "SEE" and "HEAR" of events beyond your sight and hearing.
Do remind yourself that your view of the universe is moderated by the filter of technology and the voices of the reporters.
One lives in a small world. How big is your world?

Well I don't really know. Reminds me of Blake ... 'to see the world in a grain of sand...'.
Also, I think there's a big difference between being able to read, see and hear about other places via people technology and actually being there in person. Thinking that helps me be a bit more aware of the 'technological filter' we're subject to.
