This hit home for me when I watched the movie Brooklyn. A hundred years ago, when you emigrated from Europe to America, you often left elderly family behind. You knew there was a high probability you would never see or speak with these relatives again. Your parting could very well be a final goodbye. Technology has certainly closed that gap in a very positive way.
