Once, there was a child born in the 90's. He loved to hear stories from the elderly which lives around the neighborhood. Almost every evening the child will go to the park nearby approach one of the old man that always sits under the tree resting. he will ask
Child: Granpa, granpa, do you have any story to tell today? * The boy ask anxiously.
Grandpa: What kind of story would you like to hear today my boy?
The child, he was so excited that he had listen to so many story which he might be able to share the story that he had listen to and tell to his children and all the kids in the future. He even promise the old man that he will pass down and share all the story which the grandpa had told him.
The grandpa though to himself "Will the story I told to the young boy be able to reach the next generation" He wondered to himself while gazing at the sky which are mostly cloudy. As years pass by, the old man eventually pass away which then the kid does not turn up during the old man funeral or even visits his grave.
The child had listen to many stories in which the grandpa had told him all the time during his childhood. After years, the kid had grown into a fine young man and he had been busy with his own life and hardly visit the park he usually do nor even pay a visit to the old man's grave.
Without him realizing, the fast growing technology have been attracting the new generation to have more gadgets which cause them to lost interest in story telling time with their folks. this have dissapoint the man with the new generation attitude. He keep on thinking will he be able to keep his promise he made with the old man years back.
In the new generation, There aren'y many younger approaching the elderly for stories, instead the elderly approaches the youngster to learn from them. Up to his knowledge, he figured out a way he could keep his promises by using network and social media to approach the youngsters.
He created several social media, blogs and websites to post all of his stories on the net and to share all the stories to all people around the world. He manage to gain audience not only from kids around the world but also people from various country and various age range which are interested in his story.
As he wonder to himself. "technologies does not ruins my opportunities to share my stories with others but it' giving me the chance to spread my words worldwide and not only I manage to keep my promises but I have gone beyond what I have expected I could do." As he gaze to the sky which is mostly cloudy sitting under the tree in a park which now are calm compared during his childhood where the park are always busy and full of people around.
