Digital Media With Extra Beauty

Howdy readers!
   I would like to take this opportunity to bring you the more positive side of the digital era. We have discussed all the negatives of information overload and how it will affect future generations. Today I want to bring you a clip that really should be equated with small digital miracle. This live stream is of an Iowa Bald Eagle nest. Recently, thousands of viewers were able to witness the eggs hatching of this increasingly rare bird. There are also several different eagle cams that have been set up around the country for viewers to watch.
   This, readers, is the positive side of our digital world. Most people would never witness such a miracle yet with our technology we can show the world how beatuiful these creatures are. Children who live in the city can be exposed to the beauty of nature with this sort of technology. Eagles are becoming increasingly rare, a simple internet search will tell you that. Perhaps with this sort of footage, more people can come to appreciate the eagle as more than just the national symbol. It is a beautiful living creature that deserves to survive. What is there to be said for a nation that poached its national symbol to extinction? It will be a sad day that this occurs. But until that does happen I want to encourage you readers to spread the word about this amazing footage that could only be accomplished in a digitally advanced world like our own.
   If we spread the world, perhaps more people will become aware of the beauty of our natural world, and just maybe we can change the fate of these beautiful birds. In the mean time I encourage you to watch the hatching of the third egg that is due to occur any day. It really is a miracle.
