Jett Travolta Tribute Video Reinforces Empathy For Strangers

Jett Travolta, John Travolta’s late son, is being honored across the web by people who have put together poems, songs and even animated photo montages like the one featured above.

Seeing the way in which the world chooses to use the web, a vehicle that allows for unlimited self-expression, for positive creation, such as the Jett Travolta tribute video by newsiegirl2008 above, is heart-warming.

Increasingly, the internet is bringing people together through websites and social sharing projects such as this one. Age and location don’t matter, and now, neither does having a history of knowing someone in the flesh. A common bond, such as feeling sympathy for Jett Travolta and his family, can unite strangers on an emotional level, depite there being oceans in between. Whereas traditional media such as print publications, TV and radio, only let ‘journalists’ express their views, the web now allows anyone to share their reponse to such situations.

Although some people still fail to realize it, the web can truly be a beautiful thing.
