Technology and media have created this really fascinating little nook for productive interaction between social groups in that groups, who have never and would otherwise never meet each other can interact and learn from the other in a more intimate setting than a textbook. Certain pros to this being better social tolerance, immediate or nearly immediate contact and communication, and a certain clarity and clarification that would be otherwise impossible. Cons do however exist in the form of awkward pauses in conversation due to a lack of understanding, cultural tension from historical events in the far past, or near past, also the possibility of faulty communications networks due to some sort of hole in the line.
Examples of these sorts of media or technology are as simply as news stories, botched news stories, or teleconferences between small groups. Another example is social networking websites, the internet itself and how quickly news spreads throughout the world.
