Technology. It can be maddening and it can be beautiful. Today, it was beautiful. Our story today was about a soldier stationed in Iraq who didn't miss the birth of his first daughter courtesy of Skype. Think about it, he's in Ramadi and his wife is in Arlington, and he sees his baby girl being born. The hospital tweeted and had hundreds of people following the birth. After the delivery, which dad witnessed, mom posted photographs on Facebook for family and friends to see. Technology is usually designed to make life easier, today, it simpy made it better. Not a cigar to be seen. Just Skype, Twitter and Facebook.
