Midnight candle lighting ceremony
Today we remember the tragic events that occurred on the Virginia Tech campus 3 years ago.  My brother is a Hokie, and was lucky enough not to be on campus, but in another city for a Co-Op internship that day.  Many of his friends classmates were there on campus that day and were first hand witnesses to the tragedy.  I know today gathered among the current Hokie students at the memorial were the thoughts and prayers of Hokies around the world.

I thought today of the tragedy that occurred and what would be different if it happened today, in a day of so much real-time communication via Twitter, Facebook and SmartPhones. Information would have certainly spread more rapidly. Would the outcome have been different? We will never know, but it is interesting to consider the pros and cons of the constant communication world we live in today.
