With the coverage of the mass shootings in Orlando, what I am struck by is how technology has changed the nature of tragedy.
We have brought smart phones into every aspect of our life ... even into our death. They are the last thing we put down before going to sleep and the first thing we pick up when we wake up.
Even as we lay bleeding out after a shooting, we text and Tweet, SnapChat and take video.
Our bodies may not be immortal, but our posts can be.
