More DescriptionLIKE is a selfie of modern times that takes you on a journey through the lives of normal people--the new normal--fully connected in an electronic age.You'll meet Greg, a realtor whose success stems from his Internet savvy. His tweets are re-tweeted a hundred times and thousands follow his blog.Then there's Paul, who stumbles on an old crush while Facebooking. Through research of her online habits, he arranges a "chance" meeting so they can fall in Like with each other.Martin is a cancer survivor with renewed purpose in life thanks to a supportive social media family.It's a tapestry of people and events woven together with this era's most abundant thread: social media."With one Like I can say hi to a friend, support them during a crisis, share in a joke, make someone happy, or reinforce a person's self-esteem. I make myself part of their world. It's like I stopped by for coffee. But, by Liking, I can also avoid talking to all the people I don't want to waste time on. Or I can check to see what my ex-girlfriend is doing seven or eight times an hour. It's a double-edged mouse click."- Anonymous
